#38169 RichTextLabel's append_bbcode stops animated rich text effects MRP

When I find some time, I will solve this. I can't imagine it being too hard.

Since you are currently refactoring the code, should I participate in that branch? Or as a separate MR?

Answering here for everybody else: (I already answered in #39248)

When I find some time, I will solve this. I can't imagine it being too hard.
Since you are currently refactoring the code, should I participate in that branch? Or as a separate MR?

I would wait with it, until the new structure is finalized, and work on top of it. We might integrate some bugfixes into the refractoring, depending on how the final design will be. The point I see in favor of adding bugfixes in this state is, that sometimes those will lead to a different and perhaps better design.

Edit: I currently can't work on the refactoring. See https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/39248#issuecomment-647817454 for details.

One small feature request to add background color tag for BBcode. It will be really useful and have many use-cases. :)
