User blog comment:Sarah Manley/New Editor Scheduled for Sitewide Release/@comment-1613840-20110830163847

Quick update on a few things we are currently investigating. These bugs will likely not be fixed before tomorrow’s release but we are actively working on them.
 * Opening links in a new tab with Ctrl+click from preview does not work. However, using the right-click context menu does work as expected and can be used while we resolve this.
 * Custom CSS backgrounds that use the body tag will pull the image into the editing window (which can make it tricky to see your edits). If you use this tag in your custom CSS, please adjust it to body.mediawiki, so it stays just on the background. Backgrounds set via the Theme Designer are not affected.

For tomorrow’s sitewide release we will also be pushing the following bug fixes:
 * Removal of the extra scrollbar that appeared when editing with visual mode switched off.
 * Chrome users will no longer see the annoying ‘paste’ dialog in the visual editor - we are trying a different method of fixing the core issue that is far less, well, annoying.

In addition to these, many other smaller improvements will be pushed. We will keep you updated here as other bugs are found, verified and fixed. Thanks again for your reports!
