  I’ve just installed the newest version of the desktop application to write blog entries off-line. The installation was over the previous version.
  The newest version of the application has two issues with the layout of edit screen for blog entries.
  #1. The upper section (containing ‘back’, ‘home’, ‘preview’ ,’settings’ and ‘publish’ buttons) covers the upper part of the blog entry.
  #2. Settings menu on the right does nto respond to clicks.

  Is there anything I can do to make it work?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi tataizy –

  Well, that doesn’t sound right at all! Could you grab some screen shots for me? Add those to the media library on your site and I can take a closer look.

  Which operating system are you using the app on?

  Thank you! Does reinstalling the app fix this by any chance?

  One more question: You are only seeing this in the app? Or do you also see this in the web browser?

  Editing in the web browser is perfectly fine. Only the desktop application has this problem.
  Has the application got any features not available in the browser?

  There was a bug reported and I think it could be related. It’s since been fixed. Can you let me know if you are still having issues?

  Disregard that last reply. I had my bugs mixed up!

  I will pass this along to our developers and see what suggestions they have. Hang tight.

  Good morning –

  Stopping by to let you know that I have filed a report of the issue you are experiencing through the app.

  Feel free to follow along at https://github.com/Automattic/wp-desktop/issues/368

  In the meantime, I’d suggest sticking to the web browser for working on the site.

  No problem. I am hoping to have more details to share with you soon.

  It looks like I have forgotten to mention that the app does not work in off-line mode at this time. It’s something that we hope to add in the future though.
