I am using MarkdownEditing and MarkdownPreview in ST3. It worked fine when I first used it, but when I create a new (GFM) markdown file, the cursor and column 1 are way to the right (around 10 spaces or so). I have set gutter to be false, but that doesn’t change it. I have used arrow keys, enter, etc. - but ST seems to think the column 1 is ~10 spaces to the right of the edge.

sounds like it could be related to the setting "draw_centered": true,

Thanks, that worked!

Was weird, though - My global settings (Preferences.sublime-settings) already had “draw_centered”: false, but I also added it to (Markdown.sublime-settings), and the cursor jumped back to the left.

the markdown editing plugin overrides it by default, unfortunately:
