When composing a new message, "characters and symbols submenu" seems not available any longer since recent update to TB 91.2.1.

Is this an issue on my side or an introduced bug ?

It's still there on W10 (see picture). The Insert menu only appears in html format, not plain text messages. If your default is plain text, hold Shift when clicking Write or Reply to open the html composer.

OMG, I didn't think of that ! Some mail accounts I use, are set to plain text, some to html. General default: plain text <Shift> does trick. Thanks !
