Ctrl-M mail body formatting broken

This is happening right now. The whole web UI seems fine, but if I try to format my text with ctrl-M, I get an error pop-up at the bottom Could not connect to server. Curious if anyone else sees it. I'll submit a support ticket as well.

I rarely compose in plain text mode, so I do not use Ctrl-m as part of my workflow.

The behaviour you describe is pretty odd. I even wonder if something other than FastMail is intercepting that keyboard sequence. Are you using an unusual browser, or a browser extension that might be the culprit?

Yes, it appears that this feature is not currently working. I get the same error you see both in the Compose and Notes edit screens. I'm not sure how long it has been missing.

I use this feature on every single message I edit.

This bug appeared yesterday and has not been fixed yet.

I opened a ticket to support 10 minutes ago.

Looks like they are making changes on web interface on regular basis and not testing properly.

Look this other recent problem, wich they fixed after 3 or 4 days:

I do, too. We must be crusty old-timers

Looks like it's fixed now, as I'm sure you discovered. It would be nice if they could be more careful not to break things when developing new features
