    Since WordPress 4.9.1, I have not been able to search {CTRL-F) in any documents that are below the viewport on the Theme Editor.

    For example: @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) { which in one line 1795 of the Lifestyle Theme, would only take a few searches using 767px, now I have to scroll many pages to find that line.

    This happens on the core TwentySeventeen and others. This is not a Genesis issue.

    Does anyone know why this has happened, any workarounds? WordPress 4.8.5 worked flawlessly.

    Thanks

    When CodeMirror was added, an option was also added to the user profile page to disable it. I’m thrilled the WP devs did that; otherwise I would have been forced to write a plugin to disable that abomination.

    Side-comment. For the life of me, I cannot understand why something that makes it easier to edit code was added to core at the same time an emphasis was made to keep people from doing that very thing. It’s like putting a plate of cookies in front of a youngster, giving them a glass of milk, but then saying to not touch the cookies because they’re bad for you.
