Issues Editor changed, lost WYSIWYG functionality - specifically QUOTE

[AdamWShaw]

The issues editor on my bitbucket has changed in the last day or so to a new layout.

Specifically in my case the "quote" formatting button has been lost.

The new editor seems more inclined towards markdown, when adding a code block the editor asks me for the language before formatting, vs. the prior version which put the code block on screen and let me select the language from a drop down list.

I can still have a quote by prefacing every line with > this is a downgrade to my experience.

I would just like to go back to the old WYSIWYG editor.

It's not clear to me if this is a bug or a "feature", but I've been unable to find reference to it as either.

I agree, this change makes Bitbucket issues much less friendly. At the very least, this new editor should allow shortcuts like Ctrl+B for bolding text etc. (similar to GitHub).

Wow! I hadn't even noticed that, it certainly seems that a lot of usability has been lost with this change.

Stuff like Ctrl-B, I etc. are reflexive when working with just about any editor these days.
