'React-Quill - addRange(): The given range isn't in document

I am trying to make a simple blog using React-Quill text editor. I want to get the value of the ReactQuill Editor and preview it on a different route. I've been trying to achieve this since quite a while now and each time I face the same issue, the quill editor loses focus after every key press and throws a warning in the console saying addRange(): The given range isn't in document.

I've observed one thing. When I just pass in the props to < CreateBlog /> without applying the route, it works perfectly fine. But as soon as I apply the routes to < CreateBlog /> component so that I can take the value from the editor and preview it on a different route, I start facing this issue. I think that the react-router is probably responsible for such behavior but I'm unable to figure out the exact reason and its fix. Please help me. I've attached my code below for reference.

App.js:

class App extends Component {

  constructor(){
    super()

    this.state = {
      title: '',
      text: ''
    }

    this.handleBlogTextChange = this.handleBlogTextChange.bind(this)
    this.handleBlogTitleChange = this.handleBlogTitleChange.bind(this)
  }

  handleBlogTextChange(value){
    this.setState({
      text: value
    })
    console.log(this.state.text)
  }

  handleBlogTitleChange(value){
    this.setState({
      title: value
    })
    console.log(this.state.title)
  }

  render(){
    return (
      <BrowserRouter>
        <div class="App">
          <Switch>
            <Route path='/createBlog' component={() => <CreateBlog text={this.state.text} handleBlogChange={this.handleBlogTextChange} /> } />
            <Route exact path='/preview' component={() => <PreviewBlog title={this.state.title} text={this.state.text} />} />
            <Redirect to='/createBlog' />
          </Switch>
        </div>
      </BrowserRouter>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

CreateBlog.js:

export default class CreateBlog extends Component {

    render() {
        return (
            <>
                   ----------
                        <TextEditor text={this.props.text} handleBlogChange={this.props.handleBlogChange} />
                   ----------
            </>
        )
    }
}

TextEditor.js:

class TextEditor extends Component {

    componentDidMount(){
        const input = document.querySelector('input[data-link]')
        input.dataset.link = 'https://google.co.in'
    }

    modules={
        toolbar: [
            [{ 'header': '1'}, {'header': '2'}, { 'font': [] }],
            [{size: []}],
            ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'blockquote','code-block'],
            [{'list': 'ordered'}, {'list': 'bullet'}, 
             {'indent': '-1'}, {'indent': '+1'},{'align': []}],
            ['link', 'image', 'video'],
            ['clean']
          ],
    }
    
    render() {
        return (
            <div className="editor">
                <ReactQuill theme="snow" placeholder="Enter story..." modules={this.modules} value={this.props.text} onChange={this.props.handleBlogChange} />
            </div>
        );
    }
}


Solution 1:[1]

If someone is still searching for an answer, here is how I fixed it

I removed modules and format props and it worked

Solution 2:[2]

use literal object as modules props, it will trigger component rerender , use useMemo hook to memorize modules prop to fix it.
