Comment (by afercia):

 hi,
 one small thing:
 I did find useful sometimes to select and copy the "Word count" and "Last
 edited" details text in the info bar at the bottom of the editor. This
 isn't possible anymore since the upgrade to TinyMCE 4, when the whole
 "bar" (table element) became the resize "handle" and preventDefault() used
 in post.js doesn't allow to select text. Previously, the handle was just
 the small icon on the right (the last table cell #content-resize-handle)
 and so that text was selectable. See what changed in #24067
 Now that the resize handle is disabled it would be nice to allow text
 selection again. See attached proposed patch.

 A couple of CSS things for Distraction Free Mode:

 1. on larger screens, as soon as you switch to DFW mode you will get the
 horizontal scrollbar in your browser, see attached screenshot. That's
 because the width of "#content-textarea-clone" is too large. If you play
 with "Visual" and "Text" buttons the horizontal scrollbar disappears
 because it gets calculated again but initially it's too large. I guess
 "#content-textarea-clone" must be invisible but still have layout to run
 calculations on its size and offset so it's hidden with visibility and not
 with display: none. But in DFW mode it's probably safe to completely hide
 it.

 2. top padding on .mce-edit-area and .wp-editor-area should be reset when
 in DFW mode. Sorry I didn't find a better solution than using !important.
