Description

Type: Bug

- Open a file in markdown and write a few paragraphs
- Use the split editor button to open ANY other page
- Note that the markdown file has a lateral scroll: unnecessary as markdown limits the text to the width of the window, scrolling sideways shows that there's no text there, making it unnecessary
- Write any paragraph
- note that a relatively small part on the left gets scrolled out automatically while writing
