I use a theme that is not white (Solar Flare), and a bigger font in the editor. In my opinioin, the new editor needs the following before it’s released: a possibility of styling it, and an opt-out switch that reverts to the old plain textarea editor.
I looked briefly at the code. Maybe I misundestood, but I thought copyStyles is supposed to copy styles from dummy text area, that has a class .tc-edit-texteditor assigned to it, to the textarea inside the iframe. It does not do so currently, and the only styles the textarea has are display, height, margin, and width - those are assigned explicitly in the code. Out of curiosity, I inspected GitHub comments editor - it manages without an iframe, and selection preservation is there. —R.
