Problem: Wp content editor container moving up/down with page scrolling

    Hi folks,
    Hope this is in the right place, as I wondered if it should go in the Advanced section of the forum.

    Expert Wp ninja required for this problem I think 🙂

    Dunno what’s happened but I would like to try and fix this if possible.

    Whenever I edit a page or post in the Wp Admin, the whole container for the wp content editor toolbar including the mce container and all the buttons move up and down thus obscuring the content as I scroll up and down.

    It does this in both Wysi and Text edit modes, and happens right away if I paste in a block of text.

    It usually starts off okay, after some editing it become detached from the top.

    I have tried switching off Wysi but it still does it.

    The theme is 2012 default with child.

    I can get a short temporary fix by switching over to the 2012 Parent theme, and then switching back again but it doesn’t last for long.

    Any ideas on how to fix this most annoying problem guys?, because it’s interfering with my workflow.

    What plugins do you have activated? And have you tried switching to Twenty Fifteen temporarily to see if that fixes it? You could also try reinstalling the Twenty Twelve parent theme.

    Hey Nick,

    Thanks for your reply, I tried reloading the parent theme (but not 2015)in case it cocks something up :-)and that made no difference.

    However I was tinkering around today (as you do with Wp:)and think I may have found the problem (which may be a bug, IDK)

    In the Dashboard > Screen Options there is a function (quite new I think) called: Enable full-height editor and distraction-free functionality.

    Naturally I was using useful function, so I unchecked the box and bingo! it has stopped the buttons sliding up and down.

    If anyone else is suffering this problem, try this first.
