Meta boxes become invisible or unreachable in Code Editor view when editing posts #78637

Description

In WP 7.0, when editing a post/page in "Code editor" view, the meta boxes at the bottom become unreachable with the scrollbar if the body content field gets higher than the viewport.

In a new post, the meta boxes are visible. When editing the body content, the editor pushes the meta boxes out of view, where they become unreachable. This also means that on existing pages with long content, there are no meta boxes at all in Code Editor view.

This was working fine pre7.0.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Add a new page
  2. Switch to Code Editor view with the 3 dots top-right
  3. Add body content until the box gets higher than the viewport
  4. See the meta boxes disappear, and become unreachable.
  5. Save the post and reload it, see no meta boxes.
