Laracast Discussions: Cannot select question text with answer modal open

@jeffreyway has the reply modal changed in the discussions?

It seems its no longer possible to select text in the background. its annoying as it is that we can only see a little of the question, but now we cannot select from the OP's posting or from previous answers.

Can we have this reverted, or switch to a non-overlay reply box.

Workaround is a second tab open on the same discussion, which is somewhat annoying as you can imagine.

I can't remember if that worked before,

But lists seems not be working anymore. For demonstration I will type a list wihtin code fences and without them:

1 - foo
2 - foo
3 - foo

1 - foo 2 - foo 3 - foo

From my memory it used to work.

Also line breaks (two spaces at the end of a line, optionally followed by a backslash) seems to not been working anymore. Also pretty sure they worked before (this one might be wishful thinking)

This should read in one line  \
and this on the other

In markdown it should work with \for newline. I use the symfony markdown handler that laravel uses for mails, in a project, and it handles newlines just fine this way.

You are correct, I might have oversight it earlier this morning because I worked until late last night.

The two spaces at end for line break, I am so used to in other editors (I always add the backslash to the end to make it easily visible) that might be just wishful thinking and my memory might be tricking me about having it available here.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up! Have a nice day

@rodrigo.pedra No you are correct. It should work, if he is using symfony markdown (unless it was somehow broken in laravel 8)

@jeffreyway and @sinnbeck I also found that on my samsung tablet once answered, and you want to edit and add a line, you can't. it doesn't allow scrolling down past previous answer.

@snapey That's strange. I haven't touched any forum code in weeks. I wonder if a dependency default changed something here. I'll take a look.
