Double-scrollbar for editing

Body

When reading e.g. a md file, the vertical scrollbar of the page entirely controls the scrolling of text displayed on screen.

In comparison, when editing the file, there are 2 scrollbars:

• one for the edition area.
• and, because that edition area does not fit on screen, another for the page.

It is not possible to scroll throughout the text, be it in Edit or in Preview mode without moving both (which is not smooth to say the least).

Tested with Chrome, Firefox, Edge with any level of zoom.

Supporting screenshots (here, Firefox):

In edit mode, the last few lines won't appear unless the page scrollbar is moved.
.

In preview mode, the page scrollbar can go so low the entire edit area goes out of screen (I stopped midway for the below screenshot).

Hey there @AtmoFX,

Thanks so much for writing and sharing your feedback in the Accessibility community. I'll share this feedback with the Accessibility team so that they can take a look.

Thanks for that, I will wait for the news then 😃

I suppose your accessibility team would figure it out without the following details but just in case..., I had forgotten to mention that unlike viewing mode where the header sticks to the top of the screen, the header in editing mode disappears with sufficient scrolling, rendering the following buttons/switches harder to access:

• Cancel/Commit change.
• Edit/Preview + Spaces/indent size/wrap.
  
  In the case of these buttons and on my computer at least, the amount of available scrolling in Edit mode is not enough to see them disappear, but the scrollbar Preview mode is.
