Issues

The contest task was not completed. The app only partially implemented the required features specified in the contest task.

While evaluating the submission, we identified the following issues:

TASK I 
– Pasted text overflows beyond the text input field.
– Line breaks from pasted text are removed upon sending.
– When inserting a line break inside a quote, the formatting is lost and only the raw Markdown remain.
– Italic, bold, and underline are not visually rendered in the text input field – only the raw Markdown symbols are shown.
– Selecting part of the text using Cmd + Shift + Arrow does not work.
– Quote highlighting extends across the entire input field instead of matching the text content.

TASK II 
– The current implementation does not follow the provided design mockups, lacks core required functionality, and is further affected by notable layout issues.

BONUS TASK
– Pale gradient that is barely noticeable.
– Only the default background is available.
– Night mode is not supported.

I'm grateful for response, but may I ask you for some screenshots or steps to reproduce, especially:
"Pasted text overflows beyond the text input field."
"When inserting a line break inside a quote, the formatting is lost and only the raw Markdown remain"
"Quote highlighting extends across the entire input field instead of matching the text content." -- this is the behavior of telegram desktop. Was it not expected?

TASK II:
Please provide screenshots. I really would like to change it, but I don't see what's wrong

BONUS TASK:
Pale gradient that is barely noticeable -- as in telegram K, but ok, I'll make it more visible
Only the default background is available -- should it affect the custom image background (like forrest) as well, or should we add more "pattern" backgrounds?

Night mode is not supported -- it is supported. Gradient changes color and is still applied. Please elaborate, what is wrong

1. Guilty
2. if you make the viewport width smaller, the tabs will become horizontal
3.
not sure what do you mean by "custom bg settings". If you want to set a
picture as bg - it is possible (already was implemented).

 Supported markdown notations are:  
 **bold**  
 __underlined__  
 *italics*  
 ||spoiler||  
 >>quote<<  
 ```js  
 const foo = 2;  
 ```  
 `monospace`  
~~strikethrough~~  
[foo\](link\)  

I also implemented editing of quotes in "Reply" functionality.
 Now if you click on "reply to quote from {user}", you'll see "Update quote" button, which on click will open "Edit quote" modal

animated background works only if you don't have custom image as background AND if you performance settings is not turned of (send message animation specifically)
Nobody added any issues yet...
