 * I’ve tested in Firefox and Chrome. I see the little stoplight for Content. However,
   there is no way to edit the meta description. I’ve clicked on everything, including
   this –> | to the left of the stoplight and nothing happens. Was working fine 
   before this latest update. Please address and fix. Thank you.

 * Never mind… I found it, although it is a bit confusing.

 * In the snippet editor, directly below the Title, hover over the box. You can 
   click in it to edit it.

 * You have:
 * Title
    URL Meta Description (except it doesn’t say meta description any more)
 * Hover directly below the URL in the snippet editor.
 * I found it accidentally.
