I’ve made another update to fast edit. It should fix the issues experienced:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/5d8632d484a405848a3817700f23883060adf366](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/5d8632d484a405848a3817700f23883060adf366)

If you are still experiencing issues with fast edit, please open a new topic and we can investigate further.
