Freecodecamp: screen freezes with sass @while loop

[pulamusic]

Describe your problem and how to reproduce it:
Screen continually freezes when I try to do the @while challenge for sass. No matter how many times I close the page and then re-open, it freezes.

Add a Link to the page with the problem:

I was finally able to do the challenge using Firefox. I am surprised Chrome let me down.

@pulamusic according to the screenshot, you haven’t incremented the variable x so it ends up in an infinite loop and freezes your browser. I’m not sure how you passed in Firefox with the above code, so could you post a screenshot or copy of your code you used in Firefox here?

Add ?run=disabled to the end of your link for it to stop automatic execution. Please close this issue

@Nirajn2311 - the problem is that the code auto-runs before the user has finished typing. If they write out the solution line-by-line in order the browser will freeze unless they type very quickly.

sounds like the issue is resolved for user and workarounds have been given. Issue is related to user's code and not the challenge. Infinite loops are very common in coding.

We have been getting complaints about this in the forum for months (this is the latest of a number of Issues created).
