Description
Window: Create - Trigger Function
Tab: Code
Issue: Whenever i'm trying to code a trigger and I accidentally press two keys on the keyboard at the same time, the cursor jumps to the beginning of the text field.
This forces me to constantly reposition the cursor or type much more slowly.

Research direction
Start in the Create - Trigger Function window on the Code tab and reproduce the cursor jump by pressing two keys simultaneously. Trace the code-editor input handling to identify why the caret moves to the beginning; done means normal typing keeps the cursor at the intended position in this form.
