Cursor intermittently jumps to start of line when creating markdown headings

Have you read a contributing guide?

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md
  • I have searched the existing issues and didn't find any that were similar
  • I have considered creating a pull request with fixes instead of a bug report and want to proceed

Current Behavior

Often when I create a new heading using Markdown syntax, the cursor will jump to the start of the line after I type the first letter, resulting in a jumbled word. For example, if I attempt to create a Heading 1 titled "Heading" by typing

# Heading

what I will end up with is

eadingH

This happens when I'm typing naturally, as it clearly takes a moment for the line to update its formatting to the new heading format. If I type the octothorpe(s) and a space and wait a second, the formatting will update, then I can type my heading.

Expected Behavior

When I type # Heading, I should see

Heading

Steps To Reproduce

  1. In a new text block
  2. Type 1 to 3 # characters in a row, followed by a single space, then the text of the heading (e.g. # Heading) without pausing between the space and the text of the heading
