553 PointsProblem with the team tree house text editor..ghh
I was working in the editor and I deleted the letter "s" in the word websites by mistake. When I try to type the letter "s" back in the word websites, it come up as websitse. Its kind of hard to explain.

553 Pointsit has nothing to do with a language, it is the text editor acting up. Maybe I pushed a key and didn't know it. I will give you two examples, but again it has nothing to do with a language. I am working in the first course in the Front End Web Development Track HTML and CSS. I was deleting a closing paragraph tag, and the last word in paragraph is "websites" when I deleted the closing paragraph tag by pushing the back space key I made a mistake and deleted the letter "s" in the word "Websites". So I went to type the letter "s" back to the word "websites" then letters exchanged looking like this "websitse" the letters "s" and "e" changed places (websites) vs (websit"se") it happen with all the words. I could type the word Cat and delete the letter "t" and try to type it back and it would come out as Cta. More examples with words. if I type your name Jordan and I delete the letter "n" and try to type it back it would say Jordna, Doucet to Doucte.

4,897 PointsHappy to look at it. Hmm, the closest thing I can think of by looking at it is the insert key but I doubt that's the case. Bit of a quirky situation. I am not sure how to assist with that one unfortunately. If you copy/paste into a new work space, does the behaviour change? Best, Jordan

553 PointsThanks Jordan I really appreciate your help. Kara Proulx helped figure it out. it was a browser issue not the editor. I was working in google and Kara asked me to try Firefox and everything worked. Kara is awesome and very patient. But the weird thing is that firefox took me back to the point right before I started having problems.

54,971 PointsI just had the same thing happen in Chrome. If I made the workspace wider to where a line of code that took multiple lines was displayed on one line the issue went away. Not a great fix but worked.

534 PointsThis is also happening to me. I thought the element tag assist in the editor was triggering it. Sometimes when I need to add or delete a character, the 2nd letter from the end of a word/tag/etc gets deleted or replaced instead of the character that is directly next to the cursor. It's really making trying to get through the tutorials frustrating. The only way I can get around this is by placing the cursor one space away from where I mean to be typing.

553 PointsI only have that problem when I use google. I now use Firefox and I don't have that problem anymore. Try Firefox and see what happens.
