Paragraph formatting not working

QrizB

What I did:

When writing a reply, I selected a paragraph of text in my reply and then went to apply paragraph formatting.

What Should happen:

I should be able to select the format of the paragraph - as a quote, as a bulleted or numbered list, and so on.

What happened:

The selected paragraph formatting was not applied and the "apply paragraph formatting" icon disappeared from the edit box.

Why it matters:

This was working yesterday!

Device/Browser:

Mobile phone. Moto 53G, Android 14, Firefox mobile browser.

This is what happens.

I type some text:

I select the paragraph I want to format:

I choose the "format paragraph" icon and the menu appears:

However when I choose the "quote" format, the formatting isn't applied and the "format paragraph" icon vanishes from the screen:

Ok, now I'm seeing an entirely different edit window. There's a toolbar at the top!

I guess this counts as progress 😬

Edit: although the "quote" formatting is still broken! If I click on the quote marks on the toolbar, they vanish without applying any formatting to anything.

I had the same thing this morning, unable to use quote formatting.

Clicking on the quote button used to show further options, but instead it does nothing.

I'll check if there is an issue with our provider.

For now, a quick way to get Quote formatting (well, how quick it is might depend on your mobile keyboard):

At the beginning of a line, simply type > followed by a space.

That will put you straight into a quote area.

OK, arrow then space seems to work - thank you!
