Description

Environment:

  • OS: MacOS 26.3 / iOS 26.2.1
  • IceCubesApp version: v2.1.3

Description

I am using the Mastodon Glitch-SoC branch which allows to format posts in simple MD syntax.
When I create a post with MD formatting, Ice Cubes is showing that post correctly:

If I then chose to edit this post, all formatting are gone:

Expected Behavior

Keep the MD formatting in the edit window.

Research direction

Start by tracing the edit-post flow in IceCubesApp and compare how Markdown-formatted content is handled when creating, displaying, and editing a post. Reproduce the issue on the reported macOS/iOS environment; done means the edit window retains the existing Markdown formatting and the edited post preserves it.
