You should always be able to switch between editing plain text and rich text. Some will always prefer to manipulate the raw Markdown in plain text and that's okay. 2. Switching between the two editing modes should be nearly instantaneous and never result in data loss. 3. In general, we hope to offer every feature of the current Markdown based plain text editor in the rich text editor. 4. The visual styling of the rich text editor should match _as close as possible_ the final rendered output. ## List for Bugs Reported * [ ] Bug: Create parity in /unassign_reviewer between rich text editor and plain text editor https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/420344 * [x] Bug: User styling not visible in Rich Text Editor https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1331283748 * [x] Bug: Load time https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1330979589 * [x] Bug: Location of auto complete dropdown https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1331034500 * [x] Bug: Quick actions should not be links https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1330957672 * [x] Bug: Copy/Pasting comments only works with plain text https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1336453833 * [x] Bug: After adding a link, you can't go back to normal text in the same line anymore https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1336472710 * [x] Bug: When switching between link and image, an unrelated popup shows up https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1336529431 * [x] Bug: When clicking on top bar dropdown with content editor out of focus, it flashes and auto-closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1336917578 * [x] When I `@mention` someone I cannot quickly press the down arrow to select the correct person. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045#note_1332740494 * [x] Bug: Quick actions data is lost when switching from markdown to rich text https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/406720 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/379045 * [ ] Bug: [Table formatting in HTML when switching between Rich Text Editor and Markdown](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/414876 "Bug/formatting issue when switching back and forth between tables in rich text editor and markdown").
