Description
- On hitting Enter in the `textarea`, the `textarea` jumps to that line (brings it to the top of the box).
- This behaviour is not desired and should be stopped.
- The `textarea` might have to be converted into a [contenteditable](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/contenteditable) `div`, but avoid that if possible.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the cursor-jumping behavior when pressing Enter in the textarea, then locate the textarea implementation in the preview-markdown application. Done means pressing Enter no longer moves the current line to the top of the box, while the existing Markdown preview behavior remains intact.
