I’m no longer seeing the post number when I do an edit. It’s been replaced by the title of the thread.

I use the Post Number quite a bit, so wondering why this change was made. (and, can we change it back, 😊 )

Posting number was there yesterday, by the way.

I guess this got changed by [FEATURE: Menu toggle for different reply modes · discourse/discourse@9923829 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/9923829402997c7af3e25121d6d3a345536f3884). Was it intentional @j.jaffeux?

That’s a regression indeed, sorry. Fixing this tomorrow.

Yeah we really don’t want the topic title there, it takes up way too much room when editing.
