Development Tools Git Basics Merging Conflict Resolution

I'm in "https://teamtreehouse.com/library/conflict-resolution" and the editing function is not working.

I'm using Chrome browser on a windows 10 laptop. When I try to edit the file I am thrown back to the previous section.

conflicted_file.txt
This is a text file! It's a fun little text file - 
it never really did anything to hurt anyone. 

The only problem with our fun little text file 
is that it has conflict resolution issues.

<<<<<<< HEAD
It tries its best to resolve problems on its own.
=======
It pretty much can't ever resolve problems.
>>>>>>> pessimistic_branch

Whenever it runs into a problem, it asks other people for help.

<<<<<<< HEAD
Maybe you can help it resolve its issues?
=======
But it's a very needy file, so people often leave it alone.
>>>>>>> pessimistic_branch

It doesn't look like you've edited anything in the file above. What changes did you make?

I tried the challenge myself and was able to pass both tasks.

The problem was, I could not edit the file. When I clicked on the page to set the cursor I was sent back to the previous page. I retried doing it using the IE browser, and it worked, but there are other problems with IE.

Thanks for the reply.
