Rich text editor toggle causes rendering issues on new epics

description
We first noticed since the Update to 17.9.2 that when creating a new epic, toggling from "plain text" to "rich text" while there is already text present in the editor-window gives an error (An error occurred while trying to render the rich text editor. Please try again.) and the Textbox appears empty in rich-text-mode. This did not to happen in another instance which is still on 17.6(.0) for testing purposes, so I assume this issue was introduced in 17.7, 17.8 or 17.9. However in the UI-Improvement-Section of those releases I did not find anything related to this specific issue, but I might have overlooked it, so I cannot pinpoint the exact release where this happens. This only happens on the new "overlayed" editor-window, e.G. when creating a new epic. Editing an existing Epic opens the editor in a bigger size, where this issue does not happen. However on new epics this happens even when using the maximize-button in the head of the editor, so this issue may not be necessarily bound exclusively to the editor window's style and size.
