Given I have turned on syntax highlight
when I open the stone age editor
and set the cursor position
and start typing
then I expect the text to be inserted where I set the cursor
What happen is that the syntax highlight loads and then resets the cursor position at the beginning of the frame. At some point while I'm typing the inserted text will then be interrupted, the cursor position changed, and the text starts to emerge before the existing text.

FYI, this also happens when you click to position in the textarea, before CodeMirror had the chance to load. Especially common on slower machines, or on slow connections.
We also had these kinds of problems with CodeEditor and wikEd in the past.
I'm on a fairly fast connection, but it has a noticeable latency. It could be the reason why see this bug. It is quite annoying as I must check all the time if the cursor is positioned where I expect it to be.
