When I reply to someone's comment I don't see a preview option. I see it when commenting or posting, but not when replying to someone else's comment. My first assumption is that I'm doing something wrong.

EDIT: I'm not sure what happened but I can preview replies when I make them to comments now. I guess the did you try turning it off then on again? thing works with Linux too.

try with a different browser to see if it's a browser issue

Yeah, I noticed it on Iridium so I cleared cache and tried it again. The I did the same with Dissenter and Duck Duck Go browsers. Issue exists on all three.

EDIT: Issue exists on Firefox and Waterfox as well.

So when you go to reply to this comment, you cannot see the "preview" button?

Do one of the two:

  1. Go into the "Inspect" mode of your browser and look for a <button> with class "pure-button button-xsmall btn-preview" (just do a string search CTRL+F for pure-button button-xsmall btn-preview)

  2. Or Right-Click and go to Page Source and do a string search (CTRL+F) for "Preview</button>"

and see if anything shows up.

If so, then the html is being sent to you correctly, but for whatever reason your browser isn't rendering it.

Both methods return the same result. 0:0

I just remembered I was having trouble because the more button on the top right corner of the site wasn't working. It ended up being waterfox and specifically all the modifications I've made to it and firefox were still following me around years later. I ended up running something I didn't know about. Go to help "this works in waterfox also" trouble shooting information, then hit on the right refresh firefox waterfox and it'll make all the setting go back to factory new. It was a lot faster after I did this. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Just did it in Waterfox on MX18.3 linux. So it much be something else. Maybe an addon or something is blocking it. It worked instantly and this is my first time using preview since I just edit later.

I can see why you need a preview pane.
