Cursor jumps out of fenced code block editing Python code

See original GitHub issue

Hi @vsch, I noticed that when I am editing Python code in a fenced code block like:

```python
def func():
   print()
```

When I press enter e.g. after the print() the cursor jumps upwards to the beginning of the fenced code block (so ot just before the “```”). Is that error known already?

@obestwalter, I am first trying it on previous 2018.2 EAP, then latest. If it craps out then it is part of the IDE issue. I had exactly this bug with IDEA, WebStorm and PhpStorm. I could not use them because I have a lot of fenced code in docs and this bug made it impossible to work with them.

Turning off language injections into fenced code solved the problem before but I like editing the language fragment in separate window to I could not be happy with that.

@obestwalter, can confirm that previous 2018.2 EAP gets an exception when editing fenced code with language injections. The cursor did not jump but I could not insert a line when hitting return.

The latest EAP that I installed just now seems to work for fenced code but was getting some exceptions not related to the plugin. I disabled cloud sync to stop the errors and it seems to be working.

The error does sound like it is an IDE issue. Last time it happened I tried Markdown Support and it too was getting these errors. You can see if Markdown Support also has the same problem.

If the plugin has issues with language injections then it happens on all versions and it happens if I change implementation code, which I have not touched in months, if not the last year.

Here is the latest version I installed:
