9. The text editor is still busted and I just don't understand why. It's one of the most important parts of the UX, please please fix it. Writing any kind of nicely formatted long form posts is a lost cause.
And then I guess at some point they just removed the markdown part?
I make an effort to write detailed comments about what I did, what I discovered etc. This is really helpful to reproduce the issues, and a few months down the line it helps to clarify exactly what happened.
JIRA text editor is FUCKED. Try adding bullet points after a code insertion. Does not work. I have to first create all the bullets, then step through them and write out whats on my mind. For more complex stuff, I just write in my code editor. How can you fuck up the most basic functionality?!
This results in a fun game of me trying out single backticks, triple backticks, braces, double braces, other miscellaneous punctuation symbols, and various indents before giving up and trying the formatting toolbar, only to waste another couple of minutes clicking around to see what works.
Somehow I can never remember what worked either, so I find myself repeating this ridiculous dance on at least a weekly basis.
Although IIRC, there was a recent update that at least harmonised the code formatting syntax between editors, although I can't remember if it actually worked....
I thought I was the only one who is annoyed with this. Not only that, but the editor when you first create the ticket and the one used to later edit it are different too. I can't think of any sane technical reason that might explain using more than one rich text editor.
But the last time I enjoyed using Confluence was in the 1.x days with non wysiwyg wiki markup. Confluence been truly awful for a while now - eg why can't I ever find what I'm searching for?
