The new Editor

There's a small bug I've noticed. Steps to reproduce:

1. Type.
2. Delete everything you've typed. The placeholder text will appear.
3. Type again. The new text will overlap with the placeholder text for a few seconds.

Here's what it looks like when the text overlaps the placeholder text:

In the past I think I recall it taking longer than a few seconds for the overlap to go away.

I'm excited to see this, and have been enjoying using it.

I'm curious though; is it interoperable with other methods, or are there any projects on the horizon to convert this to Markdown if needed? I would like to have backups or possibly later post some of my LW content to other platforms.

I realize that probably couldn't keep all the functionality (no fully isomorphic translation), but even some of it could be handy.

{
  post(input: {selector: {slug: "the-new-editor"}}) {
		result {
      contents {
        markdown
      }
    }
  }
}

Love it. Never tried the old editor, but had tried writing posts a couple times in the past, on other sites. I'd always get stuck screwing with the editor settings and trying to figure it out, or losing my work, or whatever. This current LW editor makes it so easy that I finally finished a post (and then two more)! The editor isn't the whole reason for that, but it's definitely a factor.  

Is it possible to insert tables via the Markdown editor?

Awesome!  Would it be possible to put an easy link to https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/ or some other reminder of syntax somewhere easy-to-find while actually entering/editing comments?  

Embedding screenshots would be really cool as a future feature IMO.
