[shifoc]

I have the same issue, it moves to another line

[alexr00]

This sounds like it might be caused by an extension. Can you run Help: Start extension bisect to identify the extension?

[kermanx]

Possibly the same as #240954, #240878, and #240846. Disabling autosave works for me.

[DEberhardt]

Have the same issue, disabling autosave has done the trick

UPDATE:
When using CTRL+S to save my file, the same behavior is observed.

UPDATE2:
Bisect told me that the ziyasal.Open in Github extension caused this, having it disabled for now and testing with AutoSave on.

[iagobruno]

I'm facing this annoying problem too. I tested it with Extension Bisect but apparently no extension is causing this problem.

[caribouflex]

I had the same issue: while editing my file, the cursor would randomly jump to the top. It seems to be related to the autosave setting. I had it set to afterDelay, but after switching to onFocusChange, the issue disappeared. So, it appears the problem was caused by the autosave behavior.

[reaktor-esakoskinen]

Please try disabling the EditorConfig extension, that did the trick for me.

[SunsetTechuila]

same as #241192

[vs-code-engineering]

This issue is caused by an extension, please file it with the repository (or contact) the extension has linked in its overview in VS Code or the marketplace for VS Code. See also our issue reporting guidelines. If you don't know which extension is causing the problem, you can run Help: Start extension bisect from the command palette (F1) to help identify the problem extension.

Happy Coding!
