This is a simplified example of a bug we faced in our project recently.
I have a list of objects with "name" and "position" properties and wanna use TinyMCE editor instead of textarea to display "name".
Besides, the list is ordered by "position" property which is editable.
Noticed that once "position" property is changed(list is reordered), TinyMCE editor becomes empty.
Anyone has any ideas why it happens and how to fix this?

<p>List of activities:</p>
<div ng-repeat="activity in model.activities | orderBy: 'position'">
<label for="$index">Position</label>
<input id="$index" type="number" ng-model="activity.position" style="width: 50px">
<textarea ng-model="activity.name" rows="2" cols="10"></textarea>

In case of its rotation there are distortions. 
To what it can be connected?
