Breaks my workflow

It think that part was already handled in the support part of Gutenberg with a few suggestions from Marius.

Is that the only grievance you have with Gutenberg to give it a 1-star-review, or are the other things, that didn’t work for you?

Can you please show me where it is dealt with?

No. That’s not the only reason for a one star review. I have a number accessibility and usability issues with Gutenberg. It breaks a lot of workflow that I’ve evolved over many years and makes WordPress harder to use for no apparent gain.

One of the great things about WordPress was it’s relative simplicity. That made it universal.

I’m not against change, but, for now, this seems a huge backward step. For the first time I’m looking at non WordPress alternatives.

Hi @billbennett, It would be really really valuable to know the usability and accessibility issues you faced. If you have some spare time to write a little bit about those problems here, we would be very grateful for that. Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for responding.

I didn’t document the problems the last time I posted.

Normally I’d document the problems with my next post. However, I’ve found I can workaround Gutenberg, so that’ll do for now.

It would help if I could de-gutenberg the handful of posts that use it. Is that possible?

Had to edit an error on a Gutenberg page just now. Realised one of the usuability issues is that toolbar scrolls off the top of the screen. If I select some text, then, say, select the Link option from the toolbar, when I scroll back down the link box may not appear near the link text. Sometimes it does. Other times it doesn’t. Also it can close down without warning before I’ve managed to write my link.

The toolbar also seems to disappear without warning.
