Problems with Modern Issues List

It sure doesn't seem that too much testing was done on the modern issues lists.  I preferred to revert them back to classic until they work out some of the kinks. 

  1. First, for the description column, if it's set to rich formatting, the raw HTML is displayed when you edit the item!  This makes it unusable.  Disable-output-escaping anyone?
  2. The ID column takes up 296 px of space and you can't shrink it either!  Expanding Title just stretches it further.  The Title column isn't that wide, actually no other is. 
  3. The append comments works weird.  You edit the item, edit comments, add one and click save to go back to the edit form, but it didn't refresh to show the comment you just made so you think it didn't work.  If you save and re-open its there, and now its duplicated. 
  4. Editing and saving the form doesn't refresh the view, so if you made a status change to an item and its supposed to drop from the view it doesn't.  You get confused, check the item was updated, and check the view filter ... a simple refresh fixes.

None of these happen on a classic list.  These seem to be core functionality of an Issues list.
