WordPress 6.8 – Meta Boxes No Longer Auto-Scroll?

After updating my site facla.ro to WordPress 6.8, I noticed a UI issue in the post editor. A resize handle now appears below the meta boxes section (used by plugins like SEOPress), and suddenly, the auto-scroll behavior is gone — I have to drag the handle manually to reveal the full meta box content. This wasn’t the case in WordPress 6.7. Example setup: WordPress 6.8 SEOPress plugin Mismo theme No Gutenberg plugin Tested in Chrome & Firefox As a temporary fix, I used the WP Downgrade plugin to revert to WP 6.7 — everything works fine again. Has anyone else run into this after the update? Is this a bug or an intentional editor change?
