Post editor exiting fullscreen on save

[JohannesMP]

Description:

When saving a post while in fullscreen mode (either single or double column view)

• Half the time I get a Could not update the doc error
  
• Half the time there is no error, and the page resets to its non-fullscreen state. (the focus of this post)

Oddly enough, when I get the error the document does actually seem to have saved, as I can tell by reloading the 'live' version of the post.

So ironically, I actually prefer getting the error because then I don't get kicked out of fullscreen view.

Tell us a bit about yourself:

• ruby v2.3.3p222
• jekyll-admin v0.3.0
• jekyll v3.3.1
• Windows 10
• Chrome v56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a Post
• Go into fullscreen mode, either single or 'Side by Side'
• Type some stuff
• Save the document

When doing so I either get an error (remain in fullscreen) or no error (kicked out of fullscreen).

Other details:

Here is a screen capture showing the problem:

• The first time I click the 'save' icon, I get the error, but remain fullscreen
• The second time I click the 'save' icon, I get no error, and am kicked out of fullscreen.

Thanks for reporting this. Might be related with #289 .

There should be no error with the merge of #320 .

Exiting fullscreen on a successful save is an intended behavior since the state of the post/page changes, it refreshes the view which closes the fullscreen. Do you think it should stay open after saving?

[JohannesMP]

Yes, I consider it switching view mode the equivalent of me choosing a custom layout in a program like Photoshop or Maya, and if I save it resets my Workspace layout. For many people manually saving is second nature, and pulling you out of the editor mode you chose to use deliberately is, in my opinion, disruptive to the experience.

I haven't tried to reproduce this, but I second your opinion of it being disruptive, and at the very least, not intuitive.

I still believe it would be better to not lose full screen state when saving in full screen.

However losing the ability to scroll (#433) is far more disruptive.
