  The new editor is sharp looking; however, the tags are broken in that the interface does not find matching tags while typing. In fact, the only way to browse tags is to open up the little box and hunt for them. I prefer the “classic editor” in that when typing a tag, a little box of the top matching tags popped up.

  Please, either provide this functionality in the new editor or allow me to set a preference so that I default to the classic editor all the time.

  Thanks for all your hard work.

  Hi there,

  Thanks for the feedback! We’ve had a lot of requests for an easier way to search for tags in the new editor, and we reported that to our team so they can look into adding that feature. You can see a list of some of the other requested features and fixes here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-post-editor-improvements

  In the meantime, you can use the banner in the top right of the new editor to set a preference for the classic editor: https://cloudup.com/cbxSwXktryZ

  That will save a cookie in your browser to send you to the classic editor instead of the new one. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that!
