In 27709.patch:

  • Move the word count to a fixed bar at the bottom. Instead of fading out, that bar slides down as it interferes with typing if hidden only by setting opacity: 0.
  • Fix responsive mode to 480px. Narrower screens will have a scroll bar.
  • Hide the Help button on screens < 480px, move the Save button to the right, make it bigger to match the others, and other responsive mode fixes.

In 28043:

DFW:

  • Move the word count and "Just Write" to a fixed bar at the bottom.
  • Fix responsive mode to 480px. Narrower screens will have a scroll bar.
  • Hide the Help button on screens < 480px, move the Save button to the right, make it bigger to match the others, and other responsive mode fixes.

Fixes #26907, see #27709

There's a lot more listed in #27279 but [28043] is definitely a giant step in the right direction. We should summarize what's left and probably spin it into a new ticket for post-3.9.

  • Owner set to azaozz
  • Status changed from new to assigned

Regressions from 3.8:

  • The buttons in DFW don't ever have an active state. To reproduce, just add a link or make something bold.
  • The link button is never disabled. (Also as noticed in 3.8, the unlink button is disabled when nothing is selected and your cursor is not inside a link, which is also a ton less distracting. This is not limited to DFW, though.)
  • Due to the clever border tricks in [28043], a short amount of text results in a broken box. See screenshot above.
  • "Saved." (and "Save failed.") had a styling change. The font color changed a bit, and it is shown now to the right of the spinner. Due to the other bug noted below, it looks pretty bad when both "Saved." and a spinner is present, as the text moves the spinner around.

This is not a regression:

  • Clicking "Save" again should immediately hide "Saved." (or "Save failed.") when showing the spinner.

27709.2.patch moves the "Saved" and "Save Failed" back to the left of the spinner and extends the height of the border to the bottom. Also fixes a small regression with the .mce-fixed-width drop-downs in the editor toolbar (they have to be fixed width).

The changing state/disabling of buttons is quite more complex as they are outside of the TinyMCE UI. Will revisit in 4.0.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

In 28116:

DFW:

  • Add background color and remove the top border from the status bar (at the bottom).
  • Fix spinner to always be next to the Save button.
  • Remove width: auto; from .mce-fixed-width.

Fixes #27709

#10 @nacin

[28116] fixes points 3, 4, and 5 from comment 6 above. Points 1 and 2 are essentially "won't fix" for the moment.
