For some reason while I'm typing in workspaces, my letters keep on scrambling.It doesn't allow me to spell anything.

Every time I try to spell something the previous letter that I typed ends up in front of the next letter its really frustrating. Say I'm trying to spell html it'll spell it like thlm, am I supposed to update my workspaces somehow?

Hi Glenn

Sounds like your in replace mode rather than insert.

  • on windows press the insert key
  • on mac or linux press fn + return

That should fix the issue

Once I had that problem and it was because I had workspace tab resized to small screen and it was messing up the words. Definitely try what Liam said though.
