I installed the 0.7.6 version of Gutenberg and, while it finally solves the scrolling on mobile devices, it makes so difficult to have a preview. I see a "desktop" voice I've no idea what it does, as I see the normal editor. "Tablet" and "mobile" only give a gray background with an empty textarea in the middle. Open externally works, but it's two clicks every time.

For the moment I'm reverting back to 0.7.4,

The standalone preview button that opens a preview in a new tab (current WP behaviour) definitely needs to come back. Or, a filter needs to be added to allow sites to easily revert to the status quo.

Although I can see what is trying to be accomplished with the dropdown, there are an infinite amount of reasons why the edit screen may not replicate the front-end, and in these cases the preview button works just fine.

So it appears that this issue isn't about a missing Preview button, because it's definitely still there. It's just that it requires two clicks when trying to quickly preview your post. I get that. Thank you for raising this.

What we're trying to improve is the ability for people to preview how their content will look in various screen sizes. This is a new feature in WordPress, so will likely take some getting used to.

I'm going to close this issue for now in support of the new screen size preview ability.
