Comments formatting toolbar is gone after installing this plugin!
So this plugin is AWESOME for post editing w/markdown, but unfortunately, the comments formatting toolbar is now gone from the comment editor (even if I disable Markdown on comments). Ideas?

Did you find a solution for this. Running into the same problem right now.
No I never did - I had forgotten why I disabled this plugin, and this was why. Can't figure out any way of adding back in these buttons from outside the plugin - but I just figured out that you can go into /plugins/wp-markdown/editor/wp-markdown-editor.php and comment out line 44:
add_filter('quicktags_settings', array($this, 'quicktags_settings'), $editorId = 'content');
Then you'll get your formatting buttons back, though you'll lose this in a plugin update. Hasn't been updated in a while, so might not be a big problem. :D
Same problem for me. However this is definitely the best plugin for markdown editing on WP and an official solution would be highly needed.
