The HTML editor is a terrific tool to have when composing a discussion post reply as a teacher or student. However, when editing a previous post, the HTML editor option is no longer available, forcing you to either live with the HTML code that was originally included or delete and repost. The HTML editor button should be persistent in the 'Edit Reply' view.

This has been resolved in the most recent Canvas Production Release

HTML Help Option

The HTML editor and help icon are visible when editing discussion replies.

Explanation: When a user edited a discussion post, the HTML editor and help icon were being hidden from the page view. This behavior occurred because of an inconsistency in the keyboard shortcuts and HTML view settings. Canvas code has been updated to keep the HTML editor and help icon visible when editing discussion posts.

Is this a feature request?  We logged a help ticket and they said it was a confirmed bug and added us to the tracker...you might checkin with support.  I don't think this was as-designed
