Well, I promised.
This thread is intended as a place to put down all small and inconsequental gripes one has with the forums, their design, or their functions. It wil be updated as I find new things to bitch about.
Trigger warning. All entries here are petty. If it were something major, it probably would have deserved its own thread.
Still, it would be nice to see Taluntain comment on whether he sees them as a problem and if so, whether he intends to fix them one day.
Today's subject will be the rich text editor:
1) The backdround for rich text editor font options (size, font, save/delete draft) is transparent. Which leads to the options sometimes being unreadable when there already is a text typed in.
2) The text editor does not respect spaces between strings when you cut and past lines.
The text displays fine once posted, it's just the editor that has this problem.
3) The default font size does not match any of the options in the editor. It is bigger than 3 but smaller than 4.
Note that the text in quotes and spoilers does not have this problem, since it uses font size 3 as a default one.
The issue is made worse by the fact that the editor itself uses font size 3 as a default one, making it hard to notice size discrepancy until you post.

Can you see the name of the highlighted font between 'Book Antiqua' and 'Georgia'? Yeah, me neither. This 'feature' came with the latest Xenforo engine update, and it would be nice to see it reversed.
2) The text editor does not respect spaces between strings when you cut and past lines.
The upper half is the text that you type in normally, the lower one is what you get when you cut and paste it. With different fonts and font sizes this can lead to the text displaying on top of another text.
The text displays fine once posted, it's just the editor that has this problem.
3) The default font size does not match any of the options in the editor. It is bigger than 3 but smaller than 4.
That makes it difficult to return to normal font size once you use another, unless you wipe out all of the formatting. If possible, there should be a 'default font size' button.
