Still getting this behavior, and no amount of changing things makes a difference. Apparently I need to learn Javascript to keep the functions that I had with 1.5.2 working in 2.0…
Is there a fix or a hack for this? I miss the popup window.
I have read grumbling about this in several places, and I’m grumbling about it too. I miss the pop up window. I like to have whatever it is I am posting about open and viewable while I am writing my post, as I often pull more than one quote from any given site/news story. If I wanted to open WordPress’s full post page in the Admin area, I could do that without having a special bookmark. The least it could do is open in a new window or tab and not in the same window as the thing I want to post about.
Has no one come up with a workaround for this yet? I’ve spent a good part of the day searching with Google and Yahoo, and all I have found is people saying they don’t like the way it works now.
I’m sort of wishing I hadn’t upgraded either. I really miss the old bookmarklet functionality. 🙁
I had issues with the ‘Press It!’ bookmarklet as well, I think I found part of this/hobbled part of this together, I can’t remember what is wrong with the original one, but this one (in Firefox) opens it in a new tab/window, for me anyway, I hope for you as well!

Good luck,

Thank you!!! I increased the size of the window slightly to 640×480 so things wouldn’t be all scrunched together, but it’s perfect. My happiness with WP is now restored fully. 😀
I, too, miss the original bookmarlet. WP2 is great in so many ways, it’s strange they’d regress that part of it. I implemented the hack above, but I don’t like how once it publishes it doesn’t close the window; instead after posting it goes to the original page I was writing about. I obviously already had that window open, because that’s why I wanted a popup window to write about it! Why did WP change this?!
I agreee on this undesirable change–why is there no response from the dev team on why it was done and/or how we can change it back ourselves?
