The position is unexpected.

If I use the File menu of Firefox to Find in Page… Ctrl+F – without using the keyboard shortcut – then a match is found but may be invisible, and Control-G advances to the next match.
In the screenshot below, the matched word is not either of the pink highlights. The match should be visible with a green highlight.

The post above is already deleted in NodeBB. (I duplicated the title to the first line of the post, to work around the missing title issue, the result was duplication in Mastodon.)
Thanks

The subsequent post by me is OK, no duplication: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe/116475260834678599. This one should remain.

… my previous posts, they don’t seem to have had this problem.

Here's another:
[image: 1776611842047-9fa33bf5-3db8-440d-8319-ac4e051217ad-image.jpeg]
When using glitch-soc at BSD Network to create and edit a post, it seems that Markdown and HTML options work only if the required content type is preselected when drafting and when editing. Examples:

https://bsd.network/@grahamperrin/116432053054263857
https://bsd.network/@grahamperrin/116432064198716983

I assume that when an HTML post is incoming from something other than glitch-soc, glitch-soc defaults to plain text – without attempting to automatically detect HTML.
glitch-soc/mastodon: A glitchy but lovable microblogging server

issues …
