I begged and pleaded with my Microsoft rep about this and he went between myself and the Teams people; the current behavior is intentional and a design decision.
they want (they REALLY want) to allow users to copy from Teams and paste into Teams as RTF and many of their design decisions revolve around this decision. when you type markdown formatting cues into Teams they get converted to RTF which is why it's such a pain (or simply impossible) to edit something at either end of a specially formatted bit of text.
maybe they've undone this stupidity in teams 2.0 but their love of backwards compatibility tells me "no," very loudly.
- dv_dt 4y agoWtf rtf? If they want to preserve that then create an rtf box mode and separate it out for most users which expect something else.
- naikrovek 4y agowhy support two input mechanisms when you can only support one?

- naikrovek 4y agoit's more about clipboard interop between Office applications, even old ones, and old documents created with those tools.
