Create list (Text only is selected by default)\n2. Enable Preview\n3. Disable Preview again\n4. See error\n\n**Expected behavior**\nI think we could get rid of the three-dot-menu at the side and insead introduce a much smaller thingy at the very beginning or end of each link. Like the small icon at the end of external link in Wikipedia: \n\n\u003cimg width=\"281\" height=\"77\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/58e772ca-538f-485a-be9e-a6b38a3e7826\" /\u003e\nbut instead with a little cog-wheel or so :)\n\nI think this would make user experience much less confusing and would clean up the overall look of a page.\n\n**Server details:**\n- Nextcloud 31.0.10.2\n\n\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/janbaum","@type":"Person","name":"janbaum"},"datePublished":"2026-01-09T16:45:52.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/8141/text/issues/8141"}
