When typing special HTML characters (&, <, >) in bullet point text areas, the cursor would jump to the end, making editing impossible. Fixed by escaping these characters before inserting into the ContentEditable component. The escape order matters: & must be replaced first to avoid double-escaping. This allows using ampersands for space-saving in resumes (e.g., "R&D", "A&B Testing") which is important for 1-page resume formats.
