The user is shown as multiple editors in Nextcloud Office, why?

This topic is similar to the one below. However, why am I seen as six editors in stead of just one? I have not opened the document on several computers, only one computer and one browser. Still, every now and again another little “me-head” pops up as a new editor.

This happens right now in a spreadsheet and has the consequence that one editor is not done writing in a field while the field is already finished by another editor. Both being the same editor - me!

What can be done about this most annoying problem?

I use Nextcloud on a server, no docker or anything like that, just the regular nextcloud installation. Quite well updated.

Thanks!

Cordially,
Martin Book

I have the same issue. Any solution or root cause so far?

No, just a big pain. Editing a spread sheet and the multiple-me editors keep some cells as erroneously edited though I have corrected them. When I highlight the cell it is correct, but what is seen when not highlighted is wrong…

I guess this is something for Collabora to tackle, not Nextcloud.
