When I try to manually edit the “source” property of a Markdown component, it’s missing the hamburger button that opens up the editor. Was this removed or moved intentionally? The docs show that it should be there.

The button will appear when the text exceeds the width of the PROPS pane. Put in more text or narrow the pane and it will pop up.

That’s it! Thanks. I kept making it wider expecting the button to show up.
