Still waiting for an option to disable "drafts" (channels all of a sudden jumping to the top of the channel list)
I'd be 100% fine with drafts if it cloned the channel listing instead of moving it.

The gist of it is that they "canonicalize" the DOM selection when you have two adjacent inline elements, so that it can only ever be at the ending edge of the first inline element. Which makes certain selection states impossible. And on top of that, they don't draw the cursor in the right spot when doing the canonicalization. So for instance, it might look like your cursor is here:
one|two
But it's actually here: one|two
Drawn in the wrong place. And impossible to put it at the beginning of "two" at all! It's crazy!I don't know how much the take "starring" into account, but it can't hurt to star them in the hopes they're fixed sooner.

Edit: If you want to see the craziness in action, check out this sandbox:

1. Try to put your cursor at the end of the word "one"
2. Try to type a character at the start of the word "two"

#26The ability to format markup with keyboard shortcuts seems to be gone now. Previously you could select some text, type ctrl-i, and it would add the necessary markup to make the selected text italic. Same for bold text etc. Still, I'll take it over the WYSIWYG editor which was a nightmare for code snippets.

#27It's pretty incredible to think that for all the billions of dollars around Slack it's still fundamentally the same product with the same value add that it was when it first launched. Sure, maybe it's faster or more efficient or whatever now, but what it is at heart is the _exact_ same thing it was on Day 1.
I don't want Slack to be a different or more comprehensive tool.

Does it need to change? I don't want Slack to be a different or more comprehensive tool.
Aside from bugfixes, I'm sure they could have done absolutely nothing since launching and be profitable and useful.

While we are taking all feedback on board, disabling the new formatting tool isn't an option that we will be offering."
