Please, this annoying button shouldn't be too hard to fix. The function of this floating button would be clear enough if it only showed the pen icon and nothing more. It would be better to offer an option in the settings, which editor (plain/rich) should be preferred. Current screenshot:

Did you just volunteer? 😊

If I could program, I would have already offered. But since it's only a very small change, I strongly suspect that it shouldn't take much more effort for people who can do that than replying to people who post error messages here.

Ah, sorry, I assumed you have expertise in Java and the code base by stating that it is only a very small change. 😉

Edit: sarcasm removed...

No, I have not. How much effort does it take to change the label of a button without changing it's functionality?

Do you think that fixes the issue?

It would be helpful to tag issues open to contributions as such, and share what the project maintainers expect as a fix for this issue because there are design concerns behind.

There are many solutions I can think of:

1. Get back to old behavior: no FAB button => fine for me, but I'm not sure there is another way to access the advanced editor for people who like this, right?
2. Add a safe zone: no text behind the FAB button, the textarea stops above the button
3. Move the button as an option of the 3 dots menu
4. Move the option as a global preference

Depending on your choice (or any other not listed), the fix can be very easy or requires more knowledge of the code for someone outside the project. At first sight, someone familiar with the code shouldn't be having too much difficulty applying one of the option I suggested (but I get you are volunteers and you might have other priorities).

Do you think that fixes the issue?

For my needs, this would solve the problem.

Imo tabs could be well-suited: a preview, plain edit and rich edit tab?

#1904, which was added in response to #1819, may help some of you here.

This bug was annoying enough that I filed a Pull Request (#2672). Let's keep fingers cross that the PR gets accepted, and a new version is released soon.

Yesterday, I updated to 4.4.0 (F-Droid) and unfortunately, now I can no longer edit at the bottom of the text because it is covered by the keyboard.
