Hey again Kolby,
Sorry about the delayed reply, both your examples are much clearer and I really agree for the multi-select. I think it could be really useful and have added another tick to the feature request tracker for that. We have also previously discussed it here:
For the rich text, I see what you mean now though I don't think the product team will change this in the near future as like I said they are looking at an overhaul. I've passed it to them anyway so they can see what issue people are having.
Thanks you for your genuinely constructive feedback, it really helps us understand the user experience and build a better product.
Cheers.
