Visually Editable Content
Release notes
Visually editable content on issue-pages
Problem to solve
Quickly edit an issues description or checkbox item or list item etc.
Proposal
In the content editor of issues it is possible to edit the issue content in markdown, then switch to the preview tab and back to the markdown tab for further editing. To quickly edit some text of the issue like the main description or the text of a list item (similar to drag and drop list/checkbox items) it would be great to add the contenteditable attribute to p, li and other elements.
Since this could maybe a bit distracting when editing content by accident, a second button/checkbox/switch - just beside the "edit issue" button - could be added to activate visual editing (switch on => contenteditable gets added to the appropriate elements). This switch could also cover the editing of list items; otherwise editing list items could be allowed by default like it's now the case.

Feature Usage Metrics
When using a checkbox/switch:
If the checkbox is enabled and something was edited (saved), then this seems like an successful usage of the feature.
Without using a checkbox/switch: When the text changed and has been gotten saved AND not been reverted (saving again with the last text before saving the first time)
