 Although you'll say this is a feature not a bug, this change has a
 negative impact and there is no setting or preference to toggle it:

 When editing/adding a new post, any custom fields, or extra stuff added by
 a plugin (such as SEO fields etc) are now all crammed into a very short
 bottom window with its own scroll box.

 Editing these requires manually dragging the window resizing widget up,
 then scrolling inside that window to edit. Then if we want to go back to
 editing the main post content, we have to shrink the window back down to
 see the post content. This is highly annoying and slows down the editing
 workflow compared to previously when we could just scroll the entire
 window up and down. (Some of us use a mousewheel to do this really
 quickly! Moving a mouse pointer, clicking, dragging, and then scrolling is
 WAY more steps than the old way)

 Either revert this change or provide us a preference to toggle it back to
 the previous single window layout.
