  In the middle of composing my latest entry, suddenly the “save draft” and “preview” buttons disappeared. I believe this happened when my finger slipped on the touchpad…and it dragged those buttons away (somehow). I use sticky keys, so the left button of the trackpad stays active the first time it’s clicked upon. This sometimes, causes other problems.

  I can’t find any way to get them back.

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

  Do you have third party cookies enabled?

  Yes, of course I have 3rd party cookies enabled. Those buttons disappeared when I inadvertently clicked on them so my mouse cursor dragged them off the screen when I moved my finger on the trackpad. It was so quick, it happened in a flash. Surely there must be some way to recover from this.

  I’m sorry but from this end of things we have no idea what the blogger’s computing environment may be. I tagged this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  If you are on a Mac, the visual editor should respond to cmd-s for saving a post. Then you can switch to a different page and back to the editor and the buttons should have come back.

  PROBLEM SOLVED, whew! I needed to reopen the “publish” bar. Now the “save draft” and “preview” buttons are back. Never had the “publish” bar closed, so when I accidentally closed it, I had no idea what just happened.
