Bulletpoint generation broken

Feature
1

When selecting a list and clicking the bulletpoint formatting button, it merges the list into one item.

For example:

  • Item one Item two Item three

Should have been formatted as:

  • Item one
  • Item two
  • Item three

Screenshots:

I have a list:

That is the way it has always worked since launch in 2013. We just haven’t had time to improve it, and very few people use extensive formatting via toolbar buttons.

I would use this button a lot more if it worked :stuck_out_tongue:

I use it even though it doesn’t work and it drives me crazy, like, seriously every day. :gates:

I find myself doing keyboard paradiddles (HOME, minus, space, down, HOME, minus, space, down, HOME, minus, space, down) and I think to myself, “This shouldn’t have to happen in 2015.”

This makes the situation not better. This also happens when selecting a text area for quotes. The bullet points are disapearing.

There’s a good chance this will be addressed in v1.5:

Did we fix this @eviltrout? I agree the old behavior was pretty bad.

I’m unable to reproduce the problem @sammcj describes, so this definitely seems fixed.

Yup, I spent time on this when I redid the discourse editor.
