Sheets deleting as I type

I've had this problem for a while now, and it's still not fixed. I only have this problem with roll20.  When I'm typing on sheets (d&d 5e) both NPC and PC, it sometimes deletes what I'm typing, often the last action. So for example, if I type "Line one, Line two" it may delete some of it leaving me with "Line one, " with in less than a second after I typed it.  I have a decent computer (It's not a laptop) I use chrome, with the sheets popped out on their own tab. I am not currently using Jumpgate.

Hi Calico Cat! That is very odd. Is the name of the ability filled in? There used to be a bug on some sheets, many years ago where it would delete what you had typed if you hadn't named it first. But I haven't seen that in years, and it doesn't sound exactly the same. Do you get this error in a private browsing window, or while testing on an alternative browser app?

I have the name of the ability filled in, I have also tried without, and I've had it happen on almost every spot I can enter text. I don't get any errors, and I have not tested an alternative browser, I'd rather have to problem fixed on Chrome since that is the browser I use for everything, and I don't want to switch to say Firefox just to enter in a few lines of text, but I can test it if it helps isolate the problem.

Try logging into Roll20 using an Incognito window first. This should help eliminate any plugins causing problems.

So I closed it, switched off my extensions (other than beyond 20) and I stopped having the problem. If anyone comes back to this thread wondering what is wrong with their roll20, I turned off Grammarly, Adblock plus, and Ublock origin.  Thank you both for your help! You've made my life a lot easier, now that roll20 is not trying to delete everything I type.
