Seems related to the grammar extension that they're using.

[mountiny]

I do have Grammarly installed

[allroundexperts]

Can you try without that?

[mountiny]

I dont know how to write without that

[mountiny]

I cannot reproduce it now even with it on, so I will keep monitoring if it happens again
