The composer in general. I often have to intersperse log/code lines with prose, and there’s no telling what the Formatting menu will do. Some times selecting a formatting will apply to selected text, sometimes not. Sometimes it will apply when choosing a formatting then pasting text, some times not. Some times it seems to apply to a selection as well as everything after it. It does support Markdown with backticks for monospace, but that’s a lot of manual editing I would rather not do.
I also get annoyed at the subtle ways the top-level Issue composer is different from the comment composer, most frequently with the top-level composer’s refusal to allow image embedding/positioning. You can only add images to a new Issue as file attachments displayed as a row of tiny thumbnails under all the Issue text, so I will frequently create a mostly blank Issue and then write what I want to say as the first comment where I can embed images and talk about them inline.
In the interest of also saying something nice, I think it’s cute how the JIRA logo seems to be a Jera/“j” rune :)

- sefrost 4y agoNot being able to embed images in comments sucks. It's not always clear which images people are talking about when they all get dumped in to the "attachments" section.
- CRConrad 4y agoYou can insert attached images into comments. It's in the menu of the "Visual" editing pane, or doable by inserting some magic [] or {} incantation in the "Text" pane. Sorry, I don't know it by heart. But you can do it visually first, then find and learn it by switching to the textual view. I do remember you can specify size by optional width and height parameters; without them, I think you get just a tiny thumbnail.
