We had numerous people in Zulip (our chat comunity) report smooth upgrades to versions 1.32 of Backdrop CMS. However, there have been a few people reporting small problems. Let's use this topic as a clearing house to link to any known issues in 1.32 or to simply provide feedback on how the upgrade worked for you, both good and bad. 

Some people have reported issues with CKEditor when using the GIN theme. 
 

See our discussion in Zulip:

There has been a recent update to GIN:

@john@delinuxco.com The problem with the ckeditor icons not displaying correctly is not just related to the GIN theme, but for every custom or contrib theme that uses a file named ckeditor5.css. See the docs page for more details, https://docs.backdropcms.org/change-records/ckeditor5-upgrade or look at the zulip discussion.

Thank you for providing the links to the Ckeditor  5 problem when using the gin theme that may occur after updating Backdrop to the 1.32.0 release, and the link to the new release of gin that fixes it.

The other issue you link to in the second comment is not related and may be specific to that particular website and how the problem was resolved through the issue queue.

I have this issue on one of two websites, I have tried every admin theme that is installed and they all have the same issue, yet on site 2 with same themes, no issue whatsoever.

Very puzzling....

Are you having the problem related to the GIN theme?

Rookie move on my part, CKEditor 4 was still intalled, disabling it and CKEditor Inline IMage Style module fixed the issue. @izmeez, thank you for the link, it helped.
