This happens from time to time both on firefox and chrome on windows.

After i edit a post multiple times: edit a word, then press `ctrl+enter` then edit again, it happens sometimes that i cannot scroll with my touchpad/mouse on that topic.

I can scroll with `j`/`k` and use keyboard shortcuts but not use the mouse scroll.

Clicking the title of the topic for a `go to OP` doesn’t fix this, and nor does clicking a second time on the title (for a refresh).

What does help is doing a whole page refresh (eg: click refresh button of my browser, or `ctrl+r` or `ctrl+f5`).

No luck so far, but as @TheBestPessimist said it happens “from time to time”, so I’m not counting it out yet. I’ll keep playing with this, and leave this open for a bit in case others can repro it.

Are you running browser plugins? Can you repro this with all plugins disabled?

Got it coach!

It’s because of that theme component.

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/focus-full-screen-composer-mode/85399](https://meta.discourse.org/t/focus-full-screen-composer-mode/85399)

What i do is:

- start edit or just new reply
- press fullscreen
- write
- ctrl+enter (still in fullscreen) → cannot scroll.

I can repro this w/o any firefox extentions/plugins on 2 different forums.

I pushed a fix to handle saving the post with a keyboard shortcut, please update the component and let me know if you’re still having trouble.

Thanks for reporting 👍

It’s fixed now!

Sodenote: since the op of the theme component is not a wiki (so i can’t edit it): can you please add the keyboard shortcut there in the OP, instead of only in the comments?
