I was just using the full screen composer, and then I wanted to save it. There was a little tick in the bottom left corner so I assumed it had saved. It was only later I realised thats only for drafts, and when you go back to the normal composer, then reply/save button reappears. I find this really confusing and inconsistent in terms of UX.
Are there any plans to add the save/edit button to the full screen composer?
This doesn’t explain the situation where edits are happening. If I’m editing a wiki post, or a reply from the full screen composer - why would you not have a save button?
When I’m using the full screen composer it’s not because I want a distraction free interface, rather it’s because the normal composer doesn’t let me see the entire post. If the post has graphics or particular formatting, I need to see it full screen. I don’t personally see this has a valid reason to confuse the user into thinking that the edit has been saved. Saving work is a critical functionality.
The checkbox always means that only the draft has auto-saved though. Why would it mean something different just because you’re in full screen mode?
(For the record, I would still like the Reply / Save Edit button to be visible in full screen mode if they can figure out a way to do it without the issues mentioned in that post.)
