Steps to reproduce:

As another ticket states, I filed support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1463493, whose content is undermentioned:

As originally asked at [Mozilla's Discourse instance](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/how-to-allow-thunderbird-to-render-columns-outside-the-viewbox/135399?u=rokejulianlockhart):

Actual results:

This didn't render as HTML like I expected, but I wasn't able to edit the question.

Expected results:

I should be able to edit the question, like I can for responses.

Hi Beedell!

You should be able to edit your question via the "Edit this question" option from the "Question Tools" side navbar.

I'm wondering, do you have that option?

[e-mail], strangely, it appears not. Instead, I merely have the option to "Quote" my own post. I've attached a .PNG screenshot to demonstrate. In the top-right corner, it should be evident that I am authenticated, and with the same Firefox account that posted it.

Hi Beedell,

The "Question Tools" section is placed on the right side (under the "Ask a Question" widget).

I believe that the reason of why are those options missing in your attached screenshot is that your browser window width is between ~1024 and 1056 px.

Wondering, could you increase or decrease the browser window width? (as shown in my attached screencast). That should make those options visible.

[e-mail], unfortunately not. I've attached a demonstration (although the previously attached .HTML file should have demonstrated so, in retrospect).

I believe that this is the option you are looking for! (I've attached a screenshot)
