Jan 26, 2021 at 22:21 comment added Ben Kelly StaffMod This is the desired functionality. In the spirit of responsive design, we reduce the "Markdown" text to an image to provide more horizontal room for the rest of the toolbar and show the undo/redo buttons since the majority of the cases where the screen is this small are mobile/touchscreen devices. As you note, on very small screens there is a potential for the toolbar still being too big and needing some scrolling.
Jan 26, 2021 at 20:13 comment added animuson StaffMod This seems like odd behavior to me too. I understand logic of why it was done this way. They are hidden by default (intentionally) and only appear at smaller screen widths because it assumes you are on mobile at the small of a width, and thus would not have access to Mod-Z and Mod-Y keyboard shortcuts. That assumes everyone likes using those and if there's space available, and removes the options for people who might be browsing the site in desktop mode on their phone. Curious if there was some other reason why it was designed this way.
