  Hi claudesc,

  I’m also getting that on Chrome. When you click “Copy a Page” it brings you to the Add New Page but specifically it brings you down to the Writing Helper where you can copy a page. That’s how it functions.

  Hi elzrjose,

  I dont see what you mean. Thers is no way to choose a page to copy like it is with the command «copy a post» and like it was with «copy a page».
  I dont refer to a «copy and paste» from the edit window of an other page.

  I’m also having trouble with this.

  I was able to copy a post last week, but today when I try to edit it and finish it off, I cannot scroll through the content.

  All the content is there, because I see it all when I preview the post.

  The original post I copied has now been edited, so I’m stuck unless I construct the new post again from the ground up :(

  Can anyone help?

  Which version? We operate on specifics. Please tell us:

  (a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
  (b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/

  OK, have found something that will work for today: I copied the CSS version of my draft (“text” tab) and dropped it into a new post.

  Now I can scroll and edit :)

  Hi Everyone,

  The “Copy a Page” feature seems to be working correctly on my side. There are some issues regarding scrolling in the editor that arose as a result of some editor changes that were recently made. You can read the common thread on that here:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/removing-the-scrollbar-from-the-post-editor-one-of-the-worst-improvements-yet?replies=77

  Particularly, this seems to have affected pages and posts with lots of content that were saved as drafts prior to the update. Since the editor now expands when you add new content, this caused some trouble with pages that were previously created. We’re working on getting that fixed.

  If you’re still experiencing issues with the Copy a Page function, let me know!
