Hi. No, I moved on with another library(

@Defite which library? I'm having the same issue.

I use react-imask.

@Defite In my case, I was trying to use the currency mask, and had the same caret jumping issue.

I dug into the code and found the problem.

use-mask-input/src/utils/getMaskOptions.ts

Line 28 in d9217a9

placeholder: '',

Looks like every time you pass an empty array as the placeholder on inputmask it behaves weirdly. Their doc suggests to use " ". In my case by just passing placeholder: "0" the issue was fixed.

@eduardoborges great lib btw. Brasil representando 🚀

@thgcst in my case it didn't helped :( I use it like this:

<input
  {...registerWithMask("date", "datetime", {
    inputFormat: "yyyy-mm-dd",
    placeholder: "0",
    required: "Field is required",
  })}
  type="text"
/>
