Description
The fix from #42530 (specifically 42184) doesn't seem to work properly, and it behaves inconsistently across browsers. To reproduce:
- Uncheck "Enable full-height editor and distraction-free functionality." in the Screen options
- using Chrome, edit a long post starting in the "Visual mode"
- select a word that occurs at about the middle of the post content:
- switch to "Text mode": no scrolling happens and the selected word stays out of view:
- switch back to "Visual mode"
- the selected word is almost completely hidden at the top of the content visible area:
Using Firefox instead, it behaves a bit better: at least the selected word is visible when switching from VIsual to text:

Hello,
As far as I know, it still needs a patch before landing in the next minor.
4.9.5 beta release is planned for next Tuesday so we'll need a patch in the next few days otherwise it will be punted to 4.9.6 (which is not that bad).

Just tested again and it still happens on current trunk.
- Chrome: works only when "Enable full-height editor and distraction-free functionality" is enabled
- Firefox: works only when switching back to Visual and only if "Enable full-height editor and distraction-free functionality" is enabled
Haven't tested other browsers. In its current state this feature, which is nice to have, works only for some users. I'm afraid I can't help so much here, it would need someone with some good expertise in TinyMCE and the selection API. Or maybe, just accept it works only with "Enable full-height editor and distraction-free functionality" and close this ticket.

I'm thinking the same... Had a look there but couldn't pinpoint the problem. This will go away when core is upgraded to use Gutenberg :)

Yep, we shouldn't forget there will be users who will keep using the Classic Editor though :) No strong objections to close it.

- Keywords needs-patch removed
- Milestone Future Release
- Resolution → wontfix
- Status assigned → closed
OK, closing as wontfix for now. If we look again at that script at some point, I'm sure we will fix this inconsistency too.
Bumping to 4.9.3 due to 4.9.2s release
