Small (and big) issues with the recent changes on Medium

Go to https://medium.com/, click on “Write here…”, then click on “Close”. Note that clicking on “Write here…” stops working (without a page reload or changing the focus). I think the problem is that once you click “Close”, the cursor/focus is still on the now-invisible inline “content-editable” element.
Suggestion 1: When I press Esc, the editor should close if nothing is there (maybe you can make the focus go somewhere else so the editor closes automatically). And if something is there, that dropdown with “Save for later” or “Delete” should put up.
I usually like to open Medium posts in a new tab, so I can return to the home page easily. That is no longer possible in the new stream. Only the “Continue reading” line is an explicit link. The heading of a post shown in the stream is not an explicit hyperlink, for example.
A message “Tags can only contain words, spaces and are limited to three…” keeps appearing repeatedly, if I click on “Preview/Publish”, and autosave kicks in after I click (on “Preview/Public”). [CAN’T REPRODUCE THIS, DON’T KNOW WHY]
There’s no search for tags, no separate page for tags (like there is a separate page for Publications), no way to “follow” tags, no way to discover new tags without manually typing in a URL or relying on the very few tags shown on the home page. When I click the magnifying class button on the top bar, and search for, say, “apples”. There is a small column for Publications relevant to “apples”. There should be a link to the complete search listings of publications (namely, the Publications page with “apples” already searched for on that page).
When the preview/publish pane is up, I can’t go back to editing by simply clicking on the body text (the contents below the preview/publish pane, i.e., the actual contents of the ‘story’). I thought that this was because it was a “preview” so you shouldn’t be able to edit a preview. But then I realised that the text is not even selectable. Please either make it selectable, or make it easier to go back to editing by simply clicking on the body text. Also, if I’m much below the top of the post, clicking the close button shouldn’t scroll that post up (by an amount that is equal to the height of the preview/publish pane). If I’ve found something I’d like to edit when I’m in preview/publish mode, then I should’ve have to search for it again because everything scrolled when I clicked “Close”. This second change should be made along with the first, the first change being that it be easy to edit the story by simply clicking on the “previewed part” of the page (i.e., the contents of the story).
Also, wherever there’s tags (either post tags, or collection tags), the style of tags should be the same (preferably the style of post tags). I should be able to delete a tag not only by pressing the “backspace” button, but also the “delete” button (i.e., fn + delete on Mac [simply “delete”on Mac is the same as “backspace”on Windows], the dedicated delete button on Windows).
Also, sometimes, I’m not able to select tags by pressing the arrow keys (<- and ->). To reproduce the problem, make three different tags, with the cursor blinking after the third tag. Then press the left arrow key (it says only three tags can be entered). Then close the preview/publish pane. Then open it again (by clicking on “Preview/Publish”). Then click on the space after the third tag so that your mouse pointer changes to “I”. Then click. Then press backspace (it selects the third tag). Then press backspace again (it deletes the third tag, and the blinking cursor/caret is now after the second tag). Now press the left arrow key, and it doesn’t work.
I’ve also noticed that the height of the blinking cursor varies a lot of times. For example, when I’m on number 9 of an ordered list (by pressing enter after writing out the eight item), the cursor is smaller. Then when I type something, the cursor becomes bigger again. And it’s the same thing when I’m entering tags. For example, continuing from point number 7: … and it doesn’t work. Now press tab (with the cursor still blinking after the second tag), and the blinking cursor becomes smaller. Then press the left arrow key, and the intended functionality again works.
Why am I allowed to enter the exact same tag more than once?
When I’m in the preview/publish pane, the cursor is initially at the end of the title (assuming a title is already typed in). Then at the end of the title, type a space. Then click on “Add upto 3 optional tags”. The cursor is not before the “A” of “Add upto 3 optional tags”, but rather somewhere in between (wherever you clicked). [CAN’T REPRODUCE THIS, DON’T KNOW WHY]
On the New Post page, if I click with my mouse pointer on some blank space far on the right, on the same line as “Tell your story…”, the blinking cursor moves to after “…” of “Tell your story…”. Same thing with Title.
If my subtitle is 140 characters, pressing tab does not allow me to move to the next thing (some sort of off-by-one error, maybe).
If I have three tags already filled in, and I want to change the second tag without disturbing the order, I can’t simply delete the second tag and start typing. That would make the newly-typed tag become the third tag, the third one become the second tag, and the first would remain the first tag. Instead, I have to delete both the second and third tag, and re-enter the new second tag and old third tag, which is just too much work for editing tags. Similar issue with Publication tags.
In the Medium editor, if I’m typing an ordered list, and I want to make it multilined, I press Shift + Enter and I get to the next line without starting the next number. From this position of the caret/blinking cursor, I am unable to move the caret/cursor using the arrow keys.
When I type something in the inline editor, and then click on close. Then click on Delete. Then confirm that I want to delete by clicking Delete (again), whatever I’ve typed still gets saved as a draft.
(will update with new issues that I come to know about)
