freeCodeCamp Console White Screen Error with Repeated 'w' Characters

[anandedwinn]

Problem

My freeCodeCamp console is showing a white screen with many repeated “wwwwwwwww” characters. This makes the console completely unusable.

What I’ve Already Tried

• Cleared all Chrome cache and browsing history
• Hard refreshed the page with Ctrl+F5
• Deleted browser cookies
• The issue still persists

Questions

Has anyone else seen this white screen error with repeated characters?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you should see the output in the terminal with no issue, it’s just going to be below the WWW

I’m seeing a white background (as in the screenshot above) and the terminal output is white text so it’s technically visible but almost impossible to see.
