Whenever there is an topic in approval the preview section of the pending post is way too small can’t resize it, and also there are many unnecessary gap or space at the bottom when we try to edit the post and scroll down to save the post, check the gif for better understanding.
The editor and the preview window are both set to take up 50% of the available width.
I see a lot of icons in the editor in your screenshot. Do you have the Formatting Toolbar plugin installed on your site? Maybe the extra icons are affecting the width of the editor.
On your clean install, are you still seeing all the formatting options on the composer? I think that what is happening is that the extra formatting options are making the composer wider than it is expected to be. It is possible that the formatting options are being added to the composer by a theme component. If you visit the site in safe-mode do you still see the same issue?
Thanks for confirming that. The issue seems to be that if a theme or a plugin adds a lot of extra buttons to the composer’s tool bar, the composer’s width will be increased to its maximum width to fit the extra buttons. This reduces the width of the preview area.
Its Toolbar plugin, gif, keyboard plugin… All from the plugin category!
If there’s any method, we can hide these atleast for admin and staff; that would be great!
Something like showing more arrow kinda button from which we can select extra features; otherwise, it should be hidden for atleast admin and staff members, so the preview size won’t decrease.
