Are There Any Bugs In The Post Editor?

    I experience strange things since two days when I work on an article in the post editor.

    1. It happened that the edit bar (where are icons like link / b-quote and so are) moved away from it´s place and changed from a horizontal to a vertical bar beneth and placed it´s self beneth the text editor.

    2. Proofread button does not work anymore. The whole text I wrote will not be visible anymore if I click it. But if I click the button again to disable proofread, the text will appear again.

    3. At times but rare… if I hit enter key to create a paragraph, it might happen that text in the paragraph before will be deleted. This is a rare bug but happened few times.

    Is there something wrong with the editor or does one of my firefox plugins disrupt the wordpress editor? Does anybody else have seen the same problems?

    We have made some changes to WordPress.com’s editor. Please see: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/removing-the-scrollbar-from-the-post-editor-one-of-the-worst-improvements-yet?replies=42

    If you have further comments, suggestions or reports of behavior not already addressed there, please add it to that thread.

    As for the proofread button, I haven’t seen reports of that not working before. Did this just start happening in the past couple of days?

    Could you please try logging out of WordPress.com, clearing your browser cache and WordPress.com cookies, and logging back in, and try the proofread button again? Could you also try a different browser to see if that changes things? In both cases, please let me know what happens.

    The proofread function works again. I did run ccleaner to clear cookies and cache but the problem was still there. But an hour later the button started to work again. Not sure why. Also this problem was only in the text editor not in the visual editor. But now the problem is gone.

    I’m glad to hear it’s working. It’s possible that with some changes we rolled out, there was a temporary glitch that affected the proofread button, and that was resolved.
