Code Challenge Not Working

The text editor section of this code challenge does not work. I can click the tabs, selecting between the index.html and the style.css files, but I cannot click inside of the actual text editor section to type anything for this code challenge.

I also get a few weird things that happen when I hit the arrow keys, moving the "1" in line 1 to the middle of the editor, and when i hit the space bar it's almost as if I'm spamming the enter key, adding tons of unlabelled lines.

I've also tried using different browers but the same thing happens on both Firefox and Chrome.

Anyone ever run into this? Thanks!

                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

          As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.

        <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
          <li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
          <li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
        </ul>       
      </div>
      <div>
        <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
        <p>
          One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
        </p>
        <ol>
          <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
          <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
          <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
          <li>Pack light</li>
        </ol>
      </div>
        </div><!-- End .secondary-content -->

I noticed the text was way too the right, off the screen with no side scroll bar. I was able to work my way through it, not sure whats going on but noticed this happening to a few other people on the forums with other courses, as well.

When I have had this problem I have been able to get a cursor when scrolled to the top of the code window.

Yeah I'm having the same issues, with code challenges. Video playback is a bit sus for me at the moment I just made a thread about it...I seem to have lost all video controls at the bottom of the video, rewind, speedup/slowdown....

Something must be going on at Treehouse HQ :) I've sent a support email about my issues so I'm guessing things will be fixed soon enough.

Unfortunately I am also running into this problem. Too bad this already happened 12months ago and had not been fixed. I like the sessions at treehouse very much but this issue may force me to look for a different service soon.
