iCloud Browser - backspace/delete won't work

iCloud just updated their interface (Oct. 2023) and when typing in a new event, you can no longer use the delete button if you made an error typing - has anyone else experienced this or found an update/solution?

Delete Key removes space too I use my delete key to remove to the left of the cursor. I don't remember it doing this before, but I work on Safari quite a bit and now am noticing that when I'm deleting a word, the space before it also deletes. So when I type the right spelling, there is no longer a space between the words. It's driving me crazy and I can't figure out how or why this is a thing suddenly. I've cleared my cache and cookies to try and cure it. I've searched online and here and can't find a thing...which tells me it may be something I did. I really don't want to use a different browser. Thank you to anyone who can help!

Page zoom not holding in Safari, settings corruption Q. Anyone know how I can reset my Safari Settings to it's default setting and purge my current Safari iCloud settings? I seem to have a corruption that will not save custom page zoom settings after I change them using key commands [⌘+ / ⌘-]. Description of problem After a few seconds [~6 sec] the new zoom setting snaps back to whatever the setting is in: Safari / Settings / Websites / Page Zoom If I "Remove" the setting for a specific website, the Zoom just snaps back to the default setting under "When visiting other websites" One more anomaly If I change the site Page Zoom setting in Settings, and then ⌘+/⌘- that page, it will revert back to the original setting it had before I changed it in the Settings window. Troubleshooting I tried to delete the PerSiteZoomPreferences.plist in my ~/Library/Safari, but it does not resolve the problem. In Safe Mode the problem goes away Creating a new user resolves the issue with default AppleID After I log in with my AppleID the problem returns because the corruption is in my iCloud settings somewhere and merges with my current instance of Safari MacOS Ventura 13.2 Safari 16.3 (18614.4.6.1.5)

iCloud tabs broken again in Safari Looks like iCloud tabs are broken again across my devices in Safari. This service is extremely unreliable and seems to break randomly. I feel like this never happens on any Chromium browser or Firefox. I've tried the following unsuccessfully so far. Note that after each of these changes, I reboot my devices: Deleted the ~/Library/Safari folder and started from scratch. Disable Safari sync in iCloud settings on all my devices and reboot the device. Log out and back into iCloud. I have five devices: two laptops, one iMac, one iPhone, and one iPad. Yesterday, I tried re-enabling using just two devices: an M3 Pro MacBook Pro and my iPhone 16. Didn't work. Neither device showed any open tabs from the other device. Has anyone found a real solution to this, or is this just something on Apple's back end that they need to fix? Thanks in advance. Rich

Hi 309LBC,

If you haven't already, try using a different browser to see if you run into the same issue.

Aditionally, if you're using a Mac, these are great steps to take if a website isn't functioning as expected: If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support

Best regards.

The problem is not the browser, the same one that I'm using (Firefox) worked flawlessly on the previous iCloud Web Interface, so the issue is on Apple side here.

Also experiencing the same issue. Apple seems unaware or uninterested in fixing the issue. All the threads on here have people telling us to just use Safari. It's as if they don't understand what the web app even is.
