Spoiler blur support for composer's new rich text mode

Not sure if this a bug or a feature request.

In the new rich text composer mode if you add a spoiler to some text, you don’t see a spoiler blur. Instead, you see a text box with all the text put into a single line.

Ideally, I think the spoiler blur should appear the same way that it is rendered after posting.

Here’s an example.

Before applying the spoiler blur:

I’d also add here that it is no longer possible to spoiler parts of a sentence, it makes the spoiler a new paragraph, which is a step backwards in usability.

Note … everything that was possible remains possible. You can always flick to raw mode.

I confirm that typing [spoiler]something[/spoiler] is currently not working as expected in the rich text composer.

Instead of \[spoiler\]something\[/spoiler\] it should result in [spoiler]something[/spoiler]

We will look at this.

Whilst that is true, it would be best if the Rich Text mode worked the same as it used to, so you could have inline spoilers. Otherwise it’s just confusing for people - this is supposed to be easier to use but now I have to tell people to switch to a different mode to do spoilers.

(Mine is a discussion forum about fiction stories and the spoiler button is heavily used!)

This is a temporary situation, we will sort this out
