Topic on 2017 wikitext editor/Feedback

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T199740

Is there an option to turn off the autosuggest in edit summary without turning off the browser option? As the current default editor doesn't have autosuggest and I didn't need to tweak my browser option.

In addition for syntax highlighter, templates, magic words and bolded words are not bold hence would like to request it to be bold like in the current editor. If this is new behavior for templates and magic words, I think I can accept it. However, for bolded words, it should function the same as italics words where there is no need to click preview to confirm if it's working because the editor (wikitext mode) would display it as italicized automatically when the sentence/word is applied with italics.

There is no way to turn off the edit summary search. (It searches your most recent 200 edit summaries at that wiki.)

Because of limitations in the original CodeMirror (syntax highlighter) software, they have to choose between not having bold (and anything else that changes the width/size of characters) in the 2017WTE, or not having it be readable in some web browsers (e.g., Firefox). Unless CodeMirror gets a substantial update – which seems doubtful – we won't get anything displayed in bold text.

Okay I would like the option to turn off the edit summary autosuggest if it could be implemented as an option feature that could be turn on/off via the preferences.

Hopefully, CodeMirror get updated for 2017WTE, so bold text works correctly in Firefox.

Thanks you for taking the time to reply. Cheers and have a good weekend.
