Format buttons "disappear" when I wish to "edit" a post

Wondering if the (formatting) buttons can be maintained when a poster wishes to later edit their post and wants to add a link, image, etc.

I find these buttons disappear and the only way for me to accomplish an edit is go into an additional comment box and then cut and paste these "edits" into my original post that I wish to edit.

This doen't happen if I start a post and then wish to edit, only is I am a respondant and then wish to edit.

Here's what the two boxes look like:

Now if I want to come back and edit as a respondant there are no format buttons limiting my editting to text only (spelling errors, etc.)

    Hi bee- yep, it ain't just you- I do the same thing re cutting and pasting from an additional compose box for the more complex stuff like adding an URL- for the simple emphasis you can manually add the code characters to start and stop bold, italic, and underline.

    If I correctly understood a comment that Accipiter made a while back they are going to try to fix that in the next iteration.
