I must agree with you about old, not so good editor integrated in kanboard. There are few good opensource editors around. Kanboard definitely deserve better editor such as [https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce](https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce). Writing and working with text is biggest part of work when using kanboard.

Sadly true! This problem is much more annoying when you install the Wiki plugin.  
With current editor you can’t even have a single new line easily. Maybe tinymce is not a good editor for Kanboard because it’s not, as far as I know, a markdown editor but an html editor.
