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

[Michael Howe-Davies]

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.

Hey @Michael Howe-Davies 

Welcome to the community.

I can't reproduce this issue on my end, possibly because I'm not following the steps correctly. Could you please raise a support ticket on our support portal with a screenshot or a Loom recording demonstrating the issue?

That would greatly help us in reproducing and investigating the problem.
