After this latest BUZZ update the ability to highlight text (as opposed to change text color) in teacher feedback seems to have disappeared. I use that feature all the time and really miss it. Changing text color when giving student feedback about specific grammar problems just isn't as effective as being able to brightly highlight problem areas. Can we bring that back?
When I leave comments for students in the teacher's comment box, there used to be the option to change background colors for text. Now I can change text colors, but not the background (which I used to use like a highlighter.)
I would also like to see the highlighting choice returned for feedback. I believe it was also available in any text entry box (rich text, rubric feedback, etc.) and appears to be gone as a text tool there as well?

Thank you for reaching out through the Help Center!
Where in the UI are you viewing this difference in behavior?

Our teachers have also reported this. I came to read whether it was being discussed here.
Hello everyone!
We have made a change that addresses this behavior and it will be included within our next release.
