I've been having some issues over the last year with the forum software but haven't bother to whine about them since they aren't a huge problem. Mostly I assumed it was because I was using Vivaldi browser and thought the issues were "brand" related. Since moving to Neon 18.04 I've switched back to Chromium and they persist so I thought I'd share to see if I'm the only one or if they can be easily addressed.
#1 Editor inconsistent formatting options: For some reason when editing a post (rather than when replying to a post) the "code" tag button is missing. (I'll screen shot it so I can show you).
#2 I cannot, at any time, highlight text and just replace it by typing like you can with a text editor or even on other webpages. Example: I type a sentence, decide to change a word, double-click it to highlight it, and begin typing. In literally every other instance I can recall having done this, the highlighted word disappears immediately when striking the first letter and is replaced as you type. On this forum, and only this forum, it doesn't work. Literally nothing happens. I must first delete or backspace to remove the highlighted text. I have discovered that if I right-click on the highlighted word (like I'm doing a spell-check) and release the right-click it will then be replaced when typing whether or not I actually click on anything in the right-click menu.
For the record, this was happening when I used 16.04 and continues while using 18.04 (both KDEneon) and both were new installs, not upgrades from a previous install. I have used both Vivaldi and Chromium and observed the same behavior
