I am facing typing issue in scrimba editor

I’m a windows user. I tried scrimba in chrome, firefox, microsoft edge but still facing the typing issue in the editor. I can’t type anything. When I tried scrimba in linux using virtual box, I was able type on the editor. What can I do now to use scrimba in windows without any issue?

Hey @Aftab_Hossain_Shakib, could you please let me know what sort of device you’re running your Windows OS on?

Hp eliteboook 1030 G2

Hm that’s device shouldn’t cause any specific issues. Can you type at all on our website or is it only in the editor?

I’m seeing something that may be similar. When it switches from video to editor the background changes color. In order to be able to interact with the editor I have to click the name of the file twice. Then I can type new code.

However, I cannot use my mouse cursor to do anything like select text. If I do that, the cursor in the window changes color from yellow to gray. At this point I can’t really do anything. Trying to highlight with the mouse does nothing and I can no longer type either. To type again, I have to click the filename at the top. Then the cursor in the window changes back to yellow and I can type.

This is in Windows using Edge.

Hey @MBC, what device are you using to run your windows?

This is an HP Sceptre x360.

For what it’s worth, I tried in Chrome and Scrimba seems to work properly in there. So I’ve got a workaround for now, but I’d rather use Edge.

Thanks for the confirmation. Edge used to work so maybe there was an update that clashes with our editor. We’re tracking compatibility issues with different browsers so we’ll keep an eye on it and see what’s going on.

I face a typing issue on the scrimba editor too . The cursor is at the wrong place.

I am at the end of the line, but it appears 3 text ahead. Very hard to do exercises with this problem.

Hey guys, the team is on it for a fix. Bit of a complicated one
