 * Where do I even start?? This split screen editor that requires you to pull up
   the meta boxes is ridiculous! It used to be scrollable. Ever tried to edit with
   this on a phone? Doesnt work at all. I have seen several snippets but none of
   those have worked. I have yet to find a plugin to fix this. Why does WP keep 
   making changes like this? I cannot imagine anyone would actually request something
   like this.

 * Hi [@kingdomx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingdomx/), I understand your
   frustration. Based on my findings, if I am correct, the issue with the Split 
   Screen Editor was resolved in this support thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-post-editor-split-layout-with-6-8/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-post-editor-split-layout-with-6-8/)
 * The issue was fixed with the code snippet below:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       // disable the splitted layout in gutenberg since 6.8// from Primary_Eggplant8818 on redditfunction wp68_admin_editor_fix_styles() {    echo '<style>        .editor-visual-editor {            overflow: visible;        }        .interface-navigable-region.components-resizable-box__container.edit-post-meta-boxes-main.is-resizable {            max-height: none !important;            height: auto !important;        }    </style>';}add_action('admin_head', 'wp68_admin_editor_fix_styles');
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this works for you.
 * Cheers,
 * Jim
