    DannyJKendall I cannot edit my WordPress 5.2.4 site (theme Envision) as the Content Composer does not work in Edge Version 78.0.276.20 (Official build) beta (64-bit).

     

    It works fine in the old Edge or Chrome.

      Hi,

      it's better to open a separate topic about your problem which is different as it's related to Beta and not Dev channel  🙂

    I am seeing the same issue on my end. Using Wordpress 5.2.2 with its default WYSIWYG text editor for posts (known as the "block editor", see https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/), the editable section is cut off. While it can be interacted with, since it doesn't expand properly to show the content it is essentially unusable.

     

    I have discovered one workaround - by closing all of the bottom sections underneath the editor I can scroll down the content, although with some visual glitches. In either case the behavior is definitely different from any other browser - it appears to be Edge-specific. Using Chrome, it works as expected. Using Chrome Canary, it also works as expected.

    Hi DannyJKendall, we will need some more specifics before we can start tackling this issue.  What kind of editor are you using on Wordpress? Does this same failure occur on either the latest Chromium or Chrome Canary, or Edge Canary builds? Can you link us to a site that has the right setup so that we can investigate easily?

    Thanks - Elliot
