Describe the Bug

First off, extremely impressed and excited to use this more. The problem i was facing was im editing in preview mode its every few secs scrolling me down. I would really like a way to kinda have a google docs kinda thing for markdown editing, that would make the experience infinitely better

Hey, thanks for the report.

I haven’t seen reports like this with auto-scrolling in Markdown preview mode. Since you’re on the nightly build, this could be a regression.

Can you help us reproduce it? We need a bit more info:

  1. Does it also happen on the stable build, not nightly?
  2. What’s the size of the Markdown file in lines and characters?
  3. What exact editing actions trigger the scroll, like adding text, deleting, formatting?
  4. Can you open Help > Toggle Developer Tools, check the Console for errors when it scrolls, and share a screenshot?

This will help the team reproduce and fix the issue.

  1. did not get to test, my apologies

  2. roughly 300 lines, 17581 chars

  3. deleting, editing

  4. yeah, its in the vid, also it actually seems to happen when the doc appears to save, i have autosave on in the ide, could be conflicting with that
