For the benefit of other readers, here are more detailed instructions: Click on Edit Page / Post, click on the ‘Screen Options’ pull down in the upper right, click on the “Expand the editor to match the window height” box to uncheck the box, and click on View Post / Page. (A save of the post / page is not required.) The change in Screen Options will apply to all pages and posts on that WP site.

In another thread, karunaray commented “in Screen Options if you uncheck “Expand the editor to match the window height” the scrollbar will appear again.” (More detailed instructions: Click on Edit Page / Post, click on the ‘Screen Options’ pull down in the upper right, click on the “Expand the editor to match the window height” box to uncheck the box, and click on View Post / Page.

Thanks for the Screen Options comment! Personally I prefer the dual scrollbar of pre-4.0 – especially for longer posts. In part because it’s what I’m used to but in part because I can get a bit more screen real estate that way without giving up all of the editing widgets that I’m used to having readily available.

Okay – After restarting Firefox the gallery edit function has returned. The interior scroll bar has not returned – which is inconvenient but is a lack that I can live with (I think).

I’m using Firefox on Windows 7 for my WordPress activities. I’m using the Jenny theme – and have been without a problem for quite some time until this latest update. Prior to the 4.0 update I had a scroll bar in the edit window and a separate scroll bar for the overall frame; now I just have the latter scroll bar and I cannot edit existing galleries in Visual mode.
