User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Updates to the Editor Redesign/@comment-1474707-20110718150223

Just to get this straight - may this new editor be compulsory for all wikis, even those that use code view as a default editing for everyone? I've just experienced what it's like editing on this community wiki, and even in code view find it a drastic reduction in ergonomics. Having "Publish" on the right, almost above what you are editing, makes no logical sense, and not being able to scroll in order to position where the text field is is horrible! Most of the time you add content to the bottom of an article/talk page, and having that right at the bottom of your browser window without being able to scroll to have it centred is not a good decision imo. Do we have to put in a load of carraige returns to get the text we are editing in to the desired place? or restore down our browsers when editing, move them to the desired position, then restore back up wen we want to view the page? Please, I would implore wikia staff not to make this change compulsory (if that's what the plan is)
