Cursor keeps going out of sync with where I'm typing

I'm having an issue in Workspaces where the cursor falls out of sync with where I'm trying to type or delete information. Like if I were to try to delete the word "Workstation" and put the cursor at the end of the word, it'll start deleting starting with the letter "a" or something. I have turned to Google for answers, but they're all basing it on what browser is being used. Everything is working fine within my normal browser, where I'm watching the videos, it just seems to be happening in the Workspaces window!

Make sure you haven't locked into the workspace with your insert key on your keypboard. Try hitting escape, or shutting down the browser completely and resigning back into treehouse. Workspaces probably needs to be reset. Let me know if this helps. I know when it acts up on my end I will do this. It might be more beneficial to learn a a code editor as well. I use Atom along with workspaces. Navigating through the library courses. You can go to Development Tools library and watch the "Using Treehouse Workspaces" and "Introducing Text Editors".

Turns out it was a simple, yet weird issue. I keep my browser on one side of the screen and workspaces on the other. The issue arose from the workspaces window being too small. As soon as I expanded the workspaces window it immediately fixed itself.
