Chrome Developer Tools: Bug while live edit

Question

I'm experiencing an odd behaviour with Chrome Developer Tools which started after I believe after last update (I'm using Version 33.0.1750.117 m)

While doing a live edit on a stylesheet, if the background is white, then I can edit fine, but if the background change colors and a yellow warning sign appears on the css tab, then as I edit, the characters disappear, or the cursor moves to the middle of the word I'm typing. It does several times. Almost 3-4 times per word. It's a nightmare to use it now.

Any ideas on how to fix that? I've tried changing some of the settings but no success. Thanks!

Answer 1

I have found a fix that stops the stuttering, but you also lose autocomplete.

This is better than having the stutter in my opinion.

1. Click the Settings Icon (the gear) in chrome devtools

2. Go to the Sources subheading

3. Uncheck autocompletion

EDIT

It turns out autocompletion was a red herring.

To actually fix this bug, uncheck Auto-reload generated CSS
