# Toolbar scroll lock?

 * With the last WordPress update to 5.5, I noticed that the when I’m editing my
   posts or pages, the entire page scrolls. Due to the nature of my site, I have
   some really long pages. So now, if I want to bold something at the bottom a long
   page I’m working on, I have to scroll all the way back up to the toolbar, click
   bold, scroll all the way back down to the part I’m working on, type what needs
   to be bolded, scroll all the way back up to the toolbar to unbold, and then all
   the way back down to where I’m typing to continue. I spent more time scrolling
   than typing today. Is this going to be the new norm for WordPress? Is it a bug?
   Please advise. In the meantime, I’m going to have to rollback to 5.4… whatever
   it was.
 * Edit to add: I haven’t been using Gutenberg because I prefer the old editor.

 * Hello,
 * In the Gutenberg editor sidebar you can click the three vertical dots (top right)
   and select from the following display options:
 * Top Toolbar, Spotlight Mode, or Full Screen Mode.
 * Maybe try unselecting Top Toolbar and then the toolbars should appear on each
   block. Also you can use the Home and End buttons on your keyboard (Windows) or
   CMD+Up or CMD+down (Mac) to fast scroll to top or bottom.
