An issue with jumping cursor

• I tried running code --disable-extensions and the issue did NOT present itself.

Issue

	Visual Studio Code	editorconfig-vscode
Version	1.44	latest available on the marketplace 0.14.5

Root .editorconfig File

# S.a. https://editorconfig.org/

root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
indent_size = 2
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

# 4 space indentation
[*.py]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4

Are there any other relevant .editorconfig files in your project? Yes / No

Visual Studio Code Setting	Default	User	Workspace
editor.insertSpaces	true	____	____
editor.tabSize	4	_	_
editor.trimAutoWhitespace	true	____	____
files.autoSave	"off"	on	on
files.insertFinalNewline	false	_____	_____
files.trimTrailingWhitespace	false	_____	_____

Additional comments or steps to reproduce

I am facing an issue that when I programming on Python file, cursor starts to jump backwards. Particularly when writing very fast, the only solution for me is to turn it off.

For example:

“abcdgtgh|”

where | is current location of the cursor

all of the sudden jumps to

“ab|cdgtgh”

Is anybody else seeing this behavior with Python. I am very confident that this has something to do with this plugin.

Im seeing this as well with PHP. I disabled all plugins except for this one and this issues only appears when I have this plugin enabled.

There was an issue with this extension performing TextEdit operations when it shouldn’t have. After #292, this should only happen if there are actual changes that the extension needs to make (way less frequently), as it saves your current selections, applies the edits and then restores your original selections. This explains why the issue presents itself when you are typing fast with auto-save turned on.

Auto-saving every 1 second sounds extremely aggressive to me, but I think y’all would be more upset if your selections weren’t preserved. I think I need to close this as a won’t fix, unless someone has some brilliant ideas.
