Closes #4400
Known bug: If you have typed into the body before the transition, after the transition completes your cursor is reset to the start of the line.
I've tried fixing this by having codemirror intelligently
goToDocEnd
after being initialized, but it instead places it halfway. I'm still working on a fix for that. I'm not sure what's the greater evil; 4400 or the one-time cursor jump.The problem comes from the fact that the entire template is torn down and rebuilt, even though nothing actually changes. I think that the ultimate solution for this may be to remove the
editor.new
andeditor.edit
routes in favor of just having aneditor
route. new/edit already share almost all of their code, and I feel like the separation between the two has caused a lot of issues as we try to refactor autosave ( #4321's attempted fixes, for example )
