 > I think the plugin which calls this functionality needs updating - it
 appears like the editor textarea has changed (not sure if this was
 intentional).

 /wp-content/plugins/wporg-bbp-user-mention-autocomplete/wporg-bbp-user-
 mention-autocomplete.js#L16

 I checked the source, but this would still match:

 {{{
 <textarea class="bbp-the-content wp-editor-area" rows="12" cols="40"
 name="bbp_reply_content" id="bbp_reply_content"></textarea>
 }}}

 It looks like the used JS (atwho/caret) are abondened. The recommended
 replacement is TributeJS.

 See this discussion at our friends from Nextcloud:

 And this announcement:

 Maybe a jQuery update broke it? Although I can't see any errors in the
 console ...
