Description
Description:
In the Teak release of frontend-app-authoring, the Course Overview description editor is not functioning correctly.
Issue details:
- When typing or editing the course description, characters appear in the wrong order on the first line.
- The cursor focus keeps changing.
- After placing the cursor in the editor and typing, it jumps to the beginning of the text.
- Any new input is inserted at the start instead of the intended cursor position.
This makes it impossible to properly edit the course description.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the typing and cursor-reset behavior in the Course Overview description editor in frontend-app-authoring, then trace the editor component responsible for that field. The fix is complete when characters remain in typing order, the cursor stays at the selected position, and new input is inserted there rather than at the beginning.
