Bitbucket Cloud web editor inserts typed text inside template tokens (e.g. {{ date }}) - how to fix?

Michael Howe-Davies
March 10, 2026

Summary:
When editing files in the Bitbucket Cloud web editor, typing text sometimes inserts characters into existing tokens (such as {{ date }}) rather than at the cursor position.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a file in the Bitbucket Cloud web editor.

  2. Place the cursor near text containing {{ ... }}.

  3. Type characters.

Result:
Typed characters are injected into the {{ }} token instead of at the cursor position.

Expected:
Text should be inserted exactly where the cursor is.

Additional Notes:

  • Occurs across multiple files and file types (including JSON).

  • Happens in both Chrome (latest version) and Opera on Windows 10 Business.

  • Also occurs in incognito mode.

  • Editing the file externally and pasting it back works correctly.

  • Appears to be an issue with the web editor input handling.

  • A screen recording demonstrating the issue is available.

Any help on this would be gratefully received.
