@mack-at-pieces would you mind putting together a PR to merge your fix in?

Hi all @guchengxi1994 @BertrandBev my apologies - I forgot my fix for this isn't within the code editor itself, it's related to the implementation. If you are wrapping the CodeField with a SingleChildScrollView, then you will run into scrolling conflicts with the scroll view and the internal scrolling of the underlying TextField, which creates this buggy effect.

My solution was to eliminate any scroll widgets wrapping the CodeField and put expands: true on the CodeField itself.

What this looks like in practice using the example app in the package:

There may be another fundamental change to the CodeField itself that that would solve the issue, but this is what I found for now.

This fix is actually related to the scrollbar sometimes appearing in the line number column.
