        Hi,
the 3.18.x uses WebKit1, while 3.22.x (the current stable series) uses
WebKit2. I'm afraid there is no enough man power to look in your (for
the upstream) old version issue. I'm sorry.

Just a note, both the HTML editor and the Plain Text editor are
currently provided by WebKitGTK+. There were some ideas to use
something lighter than WebKitGTK+ for the Plain Text editor, but it
requires more code maintenance. There's also no enough man power to
write a special Plain Text editor at the moment.

Right, that's known, filled and you already know the workaround :-)
