Description

Distraction Free Writing mode on touch devices is pretty disastrous. All the controls disappear, meaning you can't apply any formatting and - more importantly - you can't save your content or exit fullscreen mode.

Not sure what would be best:

  1. Don't autohide the controls at all on touch devices.
  2. Autohide the controls but add a toggle button which shows up on touch devices to toggle the controls on again.

Change History (2)

Another issue is that when zooming in/out you can see the normal admin screen. I would say that should be hidden when using DFW.

I think both solutions given are not the best and we should look how we can solve it with touch actions:

  • On press will show the controls
  • When there is a selection always show the controls. It will be hidden when there isn't a selection.
