[Bug] Publish with custom content not possible, no input field

[ygoe]

What did I do

I have installed this application after I found it today. I could connect to a server and subscribe. Then I tried to publish a custom message to the topic.

What happened

A default content was published:

{
  "msg": "hello"
}

Expected

I wanted to enter my own content but I can't find any UI element for that. Maybe there should be an input box below the topic, but there's no text cursor and when I click on it blindly and type, nothing happens. So, I guess this app doesn't have an input field for publish data.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• MQTTX version 1.11.1 (according to the installer package, the app can't tell me its version)

More detail

Oh, now it's there. All I did was delete the connection and create a new one to the default server that's suggested. Can't I customise the messages I publish to the other public broker, broker.hivemq.com?

Hi @ygoe,

I'm having trouble reproducing this issue. The Payload input field in MQTTX should support entering any custom data you want to send to any MQTT server, including broker.hivemq.com.

Could you help me understand the problem better:

1. Are you still experiencing this issue after creating a new connection?
2. What's the approximate size of the payload you're trying to input? We want to check if perhaps a large payload size might be causing the editor to crash.
3. Could you share the exact steps to reproduce this issue? This would help us investigate and fix any potential problems.

If you can provide these details and I'm able to reproduce the issue, we'll make sure to address it in our next release.

Thank you for reporting this issue and helping us improve MQTTX!
