Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When composing and editing Markdown text in the `Description` field, it requires extra steps, outside of KMD, to know how the rendered text will appear. This adds a little extra time and inconvenience to the developer.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Following the GitHub UI model, a tab, with label "Preview" could be added to the top of the `Description` window that when clicked would present the interpreted and rendered Markdown text. The window size should also be stretchable.

### Describe alternatives you've considered

Copying and pasting the text into an external `.md` file to produce a preview in another tool.
