The Shopify team is always improving their platform, so you will often notice changes in the admin area, either visual, technical, or both. Some of the updates to the code editor added recently are pretty cool, but a bug snuck through with one of the deployments.
While using the Shopify theme editor, every few commands you enter, the cursor will randomly jump to the beginning of the file. I am using Chrome so I have not tested this in other browsers, but this has been going on for a couple of days now and I am sure it is a bug because I have tested and changed everything else (keyboard, computer, mouse..). I have also browsed the web and found quite a few other users experiencing the same issue.
So, why don’t I use the Shopify CLI then you might wonder? Because if you are working on a development theme, you need to be the store owner, and I am not in this case.
Anyways, I’m sure this will be resolved soon (as of now, October 19, 2022 it is not), but in case you were wondering whether you are going crazy and if this is happening only to you, now you know.
