    Hi,

    The Gutenberg editor is not suitable for long posts at all. That is one of the reasons why many people I know didn’t switch to it.

    I cannot drag and scroll in the same time. Not all posts are 500 words like on the demo. People regularly post much heavier and larger articles with many things in it. That editor would cost me hours of tirelessly adjusting that is humanly impossible to adjust.

    You should fix Gutenberg by allowing drag and scroll. See the video:

    Kind Regards

    @slkfsdf8y34ljhsfsdfkuhfkl84hj You could also use the UP and DOWN buttons on the handle to move the blocks around 😉

    If you said that as an answer, maybe you didn’t watch my video.

    Having 10-15K word post with tons of blocks and adding 30-50 images that have to be arranged would cost you whole day of clicking like crazy to the point you would have another mouse, because someone obviously didn’t think about that different websites have different content and Gutenberg costs much more time than the classic editor in scenarios like this one.

    How hard is for the engineers to look at the obvious flaws, the continue of low stars and the totally blockage of creative criticism that the plugin is a real disaster.

    Could someone please watch the video and see the problem rather than typing things around that he didn’t even grasp?

    One should be able to scroll while dragging the item so he can scroll through multiple blocks and release the image where he wants it to be. Clicking whole day to edit one big post with 30-50 images is a mission impossible in the long run.

    Hi again @slkfsdf8y34ljhsfsdfkuhfkl84hj!

    I’ve run into this issue so many times before as well, it’s so annoying!
    I created an issue on Github for you so that it’s tracked and hopefully fixed soon: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/18498. Since we’re now tracking it there, I’ll mark this as resolved.
