Describe the Bug

On mobile devices (and mobile-sized desktop browsers) it‘s not possible to scroll the Markdown editor vertically (using touch or mouse wheel) if there are more lines than the viewport can display.

I‘m encountering this issue for a while now, but sadly I can‘t really tell the version I first encountered it. But it was definitely working fine in earlier versions.

I was able to workaround the issue by adding the following CSS:

.markdown-editor-wrap {
  height: 100%;
}

Steps to Reproduce

Use a mobile device (or a mobile-sized desktop browser)
Open a Book
Enter „Edit“ mode
In case there aren‘t enough lines: add some new lines until you leave the bottom of the screen
Try to scroll down to the bottom line

Expected Behaviour

The editor is vertically scrollable.

Screenshots or Additional Context

No response
