# Paste causes screen jump

 * When I have a long post with images inserted from the media library, pasting 
   content into it causes the editor to jump.
 * Example, I paste text at the top of the page, and I get transported to the middle
   of the page.
 * If I disable “Enable full-height editor and distraction-free functionality” the
   issue goes away.
 * It was also an issue on Classic Editor, so I switched over to see if this plugin
   would resolve it (looks like a better plugin anyway!), but it has the same behaviour.
   You can see the discussion about Classic Editor here:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-classic-editor-paste-page-auto-scroll-down/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-classic-editor-paste-page-auto-scroll-down/)
 * I’ve fully removed Classic Editor, cleared all the caches etc, but am experincing
   the same behaviour with Disable Gutenberg.
 * Thanks!

 * Glad to help. Actually what you describe is a bug with the editor itself, not
   any “disable-gutenberg” type plugin. Plugins like DG and CE simply enable the
   existing editor scripts provided by WordPress core. Think of DG/CE like a toggle
   switch: when enabled, the WP core classic-editor scripts are loaded; or when 
   disabled, the block scripts are loaded. That’s all the plugins are doing. The
   actual editor scripts may have bugs, but not something that can be fixed via 
   DG/CE.
 * I hope that explains it. Let me know if I can elaborate or provide any further
   infos.

 * That makes perfect sense, and thanks for the very swift reply. I think I will
   stick with this plugin just on that basis 🙂
 * Do you happen to know if this is a known issue that’s being worked on, or should
   I file a bug in the wordpress bug tracker? I’m just not sure if they’d care if
   it only affects the old way of doing things 😉

 * You are welcome, [@lozula](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lozula/) 🙂 And
   yeah you might try a bug report, although like you say the focus now is on the
   new JavaScript/block stuff. Another possibility, it could be a browser-related
   issue. Have you tried the editor/jumping in different browsers?

 * Good idea 🙂 I tried it in Firefox as well as Chrome & Edge and it gives the 
   same result. Ah well. Hopefully it’s fixed at some point.
