Minor indentation misalignment in keyboard shortcuts help box Very minor bug in case it's worth fixing at the same time as any other change to the keyboard shortcuts: The keyboard shortcuts help box has one space less of indentation for `t` than for all the other shortcuts: (more) |

Code block exceeds the screen height on mobile I like the new taller code blocks when working in the desktop site, but they can be problematic on mobile. On mobile, even in portrait orientation (screen height is larger than screen width), a code block of 40 lines or more can exceed the screen height. This makes it possible to accidentally let ...

| Question | — |
MathJax in profiles displays differently depending on community Some communities have MathJax enabled, which allows including mathematical notation in posts. I wondered whether this would extend to the user profile, so I did a test. I edited my profile to include the following: ```text Testing MathJax in a profile: $1+1$ ``` The preview showed mathe...

> Ironically, the symbols are handled correctly in the preview of this very question
I don't see this myself. For me, the preview of this question in the Codidact Meta questions list also shows incorrectly (displaying the HTML entities instead of & < >). (more) |

I guessed that "network preference" meant network-wide preference setting per user, but I had to go to my user page and look at the preferences tab to be sure. Would it be worth including a link to the [user preferences tab](https://meta.codidact.com/users/me/preferences) to remove any ambiguity? (more) |

Notifications and Communities buttons not responding to icon clicks Previously, clicking on the icon for Notifications or Communities at the top right of the page resulted in the appropriate drop down panel appearing. Today, the panel only opens if the square area around the icons is clicked. Clicking on the icons themselves does not open the panel (although it still... (more) |

I've just been looking through some posts on Writing for an example, and the only one I found was a fake footnote using `<sup>` for superscript. No examples of a markdown footnote. I'm sure I've seen one at some point but I can't think which community it was on.
I can't say with certainty that it ... (more) |

I can't remember noticing footnotes either way in the past, so I don't know. The post where I noticed it was one I posted recently on Scientific Speculation. I'd be surprised if a regression/bug could affect only one site but mentioning just in case. I'll also link to [the specific post](https://scie... (more) |

This presents two problems: 1. Any subtle error introduced by the edit that prevents the post from rendering correctly will be difficult to spot, risking a faulty... (more) |

A: Codidact Collab - should it be listed? Personally, I am not currently looking to learn Ruby and contribute to QPixel, but I am interested in occasionally browsing Codidact Collab to see what's happening. I only discovered it through a link I happened to stumble upon, and was completely unaware of it before that. If it was included in t... (more) |

Codidact Collab - should it be listed? The drop down menu at the top right of each Codidact page shows a list of all the communities in the network. The list is also linked to from the page footer, and from codidact.com. There is also a community for people who work on the QPixel software that Codidact runs on, called Codidact Collab. ...

Thanks for the info. From looking through the CommonMark test cases, it doesn't seem that spoilers are supported, so nothing to add to the formatting help at this point. (more) |

Markdown spoiler sections - is there any need? Standard markdown does not include spoiler sections (hidden until clicked on).
