Just today, whenever I post a comment on LJ, I realise I type the comment, hit tab, hit return, and then go "guh?" because apparently tab changes focus, not to the "post comment" button after the comment, but to the "B" bold button on the formatting row just above the comment.

I'm pretty sure that didn't happen before yesterday. But only from context: I didn't notice how I posted a comment, but because my fingers are automatically doing "tab, return", I infer I learned that somehow so it must have been how it used to work.

So, did that happen to everyone, or is it just that I'm still using whatever out-of-date journal style I got by default when I signed up?

It's surprisingly annoying: I hadn't thought of that as something I care about, but it's really hard to train my fingers not to do something.

I see no formatting row above the comment box (either on LJ or DW)

I don't think I'm hitting tab much when I comment there--but the LJ "news" community announced a new release yesterday, with the usual mix of "here's what we fixed/added" and comments about what they should have fixed but didn't, and what they broke this time.

Ditto exactly. Very irritating.
