does anyone else see a problem with the cursor in the preview window? The cursor is maybe 2 spaces behind the end of the sentence.

Known bug. Do a soft page refresh or use Firefox.

### Describe the Issue For me, both in Chrome and Edge (without any extension…s) the cursor position is off by some characters (a tab?). It seems to happen after reloading the page (hard refresh) or even directly navigating to a challenge URL. 1. Go to `https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/2022/responsive-web-design/learn-html-by-building-a-cat-photo-app/step-1` and complete the step. 2. Advance to the next challenge and check the cursor position, it should be fine. 3. Reload the page (hard refresh) and check the cursor position again, it is now off. ![cursor-position](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28780271/226340636-3ff3fd73-5234-4bde-b755-d0f370d91427.gif) Doesn't seem to happen in Firefox or when I tried it in the JS curriculum. Is this reproducible for anyone else? --- The only PR I found briefly looking at the commits for the editor is https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/pull/49477 Might be causing this? Edit: I tried reverting the code from the PR and it didn't seem to help so I'm guessing that isn't it. Honestly not sure what is causing it but it seems to have happened between the Feb 28 build and the later production build. Edit 2: For anyone reading this looking for a fix. - A normal (soft) page refresh should fix it. - Firefox seems unaffected. ### Affected Page https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn ### Your code ``` ``` ### Expected behavior The cursor position should not be borked after a page reload. ### Screenshots _No response_ ### System - Device: [e.g. iPhone 6, Laptop] - OS: [e.g. iOS 14, Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04] - Browser: [e.g. Chrome, Safari] - Version: [e.g. 22] ### Additional context Forum: https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/misaligned-cursor/599520 https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/my-cursor-keeps-going-to-odd-spots-when-i-try-to-code/600071
