Comment (by trombonekenny):
I like the way Atlassian Confluence Wikis provide previews (you can try it
out on their test space at
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TESTING/Home): they use tabs over
the textarea box to choose between a rich text editor, a plain textarea,
and a rendered preview. Since it's a javascript function to switch
between an editor or a preview (instead of opening a new window,) it can
wait for the autosave to complete. IMO, it's a smoother workflow because
it keeps everything in one window, it keeps all the editing tools on the
screen and only previews the content part (not the full rendered blog
page.)
That tabbed/JS behavior should be pretty easy to prototype as a plugin.
Maybe I'll take a crack at that soon.
I disagree with the 'minor' severity of the ticket... this is the biggest
change I've noticed going to 2.5. Previewing, re-editing, and saving are
critical workflows in the way I use WP, and that's a process I want to be
efficient and intuitive. I don't think it is anymore with 2.5.1.
