Editor environment looks different for different users

This is a follow on from a few different, ongoing discussions here about how the backend looks and functions, particularly the editor environment for blog posts. It’s an issue because oftentimes, this is where the non-technical users operate.

I want to create as clean and unobtrusive an experience as possible, that feels like using a word processor.

My current issue is that after considerable tweaking within the Role Editor and adding custom CSS, I am able to get my back end looking close to stock factory issue Gutenberg. Only problem is that my user is the only one that looks how I want:

For other users it’s close, but still not quite there, as we are still seeing the breakpoints and the grey canvas background. And I cannot edit the title.

Why is this? I’ve spent a few hours troubleshooting and going back and forth tweaking settings to no avail. Even have another admin account with the same settings in role editor and it looks like this.

First quick question, are you forcing iframe for posts in the role editor for both user roles/accounts?

Great question. I tried with and without as part of my troubleshooting.
It didn’t seem to make a difference either way.

However, since you brought it up, I tried again, but this time I applied it to the user specifically, and it works. It did not when I applied “Force iframe” for just the role.

Bug maybe?
