Modern Editor scrolling and font issues

Scrolling been pretty buggy for me – on Mac on Modern Editor, version 50.0.3:

  • I had a roughly 3 page markdown loaded in a window yesterday, and repeatedly couldn’t scroll down – I had to cmd-enter to start editing, arrow down to the bottom (couldn’t see when I got there because the page stayed locked), hit enter a bunch of times, then I could scroll down
  • I’ve had longer markdown mixed with javascript in ``` cheat sheets loaded, like 7-10 pages long, and it constantly flipped between fonts and font-size as I jumped between sections of the doc. Like it rendered current page +/- 2 pages fine, but when I jumped higher/lower than that, it was like the section of a doc was in a different syntax. Have been trying both Multimarkdown and Github Markdown. This behavior has been happening since the old editor.

Modern editor is still pretty experimental. Lots of improvements coming, but I’d recommend falling back to the legacy editor, which is still the default.
