all good, thank you

Since I can’t paste images in this forum then I’ll have to use lengthy descriptions.
The new editor destroys the admin screen completely. The left admin panel is still visible but all the links are gone. Just one big black sidebar where the admin functions should be.
My shortcodes are designed to render the full page on information and links.
The editor renders the html with the embedded styles within the shortcode. It does not include the stylesheet from the appropriate theme. This causes the rendered html to bear no resemblance to the final output.
The rendered html appears behind the admin sidebar, and the editor panel on the right, so you can’t get at some of the shortcode’s functionality. In other words, the editor renders the html to the screen’s full width which is not how it will eventually appear on the web site.

Problem page: the HTML code for the page is: <p>[U3APageCourse]</p>

OK page: the HTML code is:

<p>U3A Maitland was formed in 2014.</p>
<p><need more info here></p>
<p>We currently have [U3AMemberCount] members and run [U3ACourseCount] courses/activities over the year. We?cover the Hunter Valley region and our members are generally within Maitland and it's surrounding townships.?Our members come from:</p>
<p>[U3AMembershipSpread]</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Well said. I agree with you 100%
