For the past week or so, I've been unable to use the @ mention system in the old UI. Nothing pops up when I try to use it.

The only workaround I've found is to use the editor in the new UI, where it still works perfectly fine. As someone who prefers the old UI for articles, I'd prefer not having to switch between them constantly just to mention other articles within articles.

I've deleted all my browser cache and done everything the list said to try, but it's still not working. It does it in any article I try to edit on the old UI.

Steps to Reproduce

Go into any article in the Old version of the editor, go into any text field, type the @ symbol and at least three characters, and no UI window for article selection comes up.

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Google Chrome

I was going to report this bug as well, except in my case it tries to link articles from one of my other worlds. I'm not sure why, and it's always the same world. If you only have one, it might not show up with anything as OP states. I use Microsoft Edge for my browser.

I use the old editor to paste content into from other areas (including other WA articles) since the new editor messes up the levels of bulleted content when I paste into it. So I have to keep switching between editors to make progress which is quite cumbersome.

should be fixed now, make sure to check it out :) the other bug regarding the copy and paste would be a duplicate of the bgu that we have regarding the link copies, it'll get resolved in the future
