      Steps to reproduce (tested on QA site as teacher):

      1. Make sure to use the TinyMCE editor as "Teacher" (QA)
      2. As someone with grading capabilities, view all submissions for an assignment in a course. (QA)

      3. Select an assignment and leave a feedback comment using TinyMCE (QA).

      4. Save the feedback comment using the "Save Changes" button.

      5. Edit your comment and save again.

      6. The feedback comment won't be changed.

       

      This seems to be caused by the fact the Tiny does not update the underlying textarea element, and when the AJAX call happens, it simply sends the original content, unedited.

      There's no error and no logs produced by the actions above that could point to a quick solution, sadly.

      I was able to reproduce the issue in my 3 local environments on the most recent 4.1.2+ stable build.
