User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

Steps to reproduce:

I created a task in the task section. This task has a description with formatting (see screenshot 1): different heading styles, bullet list, numbered list, bold text, underlined text, italic text.

Actual results:

The text formatting does not appear in the task preview (see screenshot 2).

Expected results:

Make the task preview (description preview) in screenshot 2 respect and show the correct formatting, too, just like in screenshot 1.

Thanks Riban - confirming exactly as described - that's odd.
Allowing HTML formatting in task description, but not displaying it in the task preview makes no sense indeed, and formatting carries meaning.
We should fix this when the time allows.

Geoff, any insights? Can you assign someone?

Proposed patch

Looks like you copied this from calendar-item-summary.js, which is fair enough, although you should mention that in the extended commit message. Any particular reason you used global.css instead of editorContent.css?

Any particular reason you used global.css instead of editorContent.css?

Because I based this on my patch to bug 1607834, so it didn't have any subsequent changes applied to it. I've fixed that now, and also mentioned the relevant bugs in the comment.
