We’ve made a new addition to the Classic editor: inline photo uploads!

Hello,

with the new Classic Editor v2 I’m _not_ able to edit this (older) post:

Tried with Chrome on Android 11 and FireFox 88 on MacOS. It fails on both platforms.

The textarea where the MarkDown should appear stays empty.  
🤔

Kind regards

Hello,

with Chrome on Android 11 the new Editor works.

With FireFox 88 on Android 11 I’m **not** able to edit the last line of a post if an image is contained.  
The floating button to insert a image is prohibiting to set the cursor into the last line.

Maybe you can see the top of the four words in the last line.

Kind regards

Hello, I’m just getting started with Classic Editor v2. I think it works pretty well. My main complaint is the lack of option to “open in a new tab” when inserting a link. I use a lot of links in my articles and it is very painful to add links as HTML to make them open in a new tab…

Hello,  
The only issue that I’ve had so far is when inserting HTML (Eg: Embed Video) I usually have to switch between the Rich Editor and the Plain Editor and usually swapping back and forth with change the Code added in the Plain Editor to a “Read More” When Switching back to the Classic Editor v2. Probably a bug. It would be a nice feature in future to add html in the Classic Editor without having to switch.

Thank you for your Time.

As others have mentioned, the rich text editor toolbar looks really off on dark mode. The contrast is super low, and the image upload bar is unreadable.

Luckily I have a Safari extension called Noir, so I use its dark mode (on top of your dark mode!) to have a better experience.
