Steps to Reproduce:
- Ensure that an editor config file does not exist.
- Open a document of any type (e.g. Readme.md)
- Type furiously. Just mash on the keyboard. Or better yet, type “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog”
- Observe that the insertion point/cursor is not at the end of the line. You just typed gibberish. In the screencap below, the “he” from “the” has been moved to the end of the line.
Disabling the editorconfig extension resolves the issue.
Reproduces without extensions: No

It seems to be fixed in my vscode with the new version
Can confirm this happens on the newest Win 64bit build, i have only the editor config extension enabled and
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
in my config.VS Code config:
It is really annoying, making this extension not usable.
PS: VS Code built in trimming does not remove trailing spaces on the line where the cursor is.
