Code tags occasionally messing up

Jamin Grey · 2013-01-02T08:23:56

Sometimes when using the new code tags, only the first line of the code gets wrapped in the code block, and the rest shows up outside of it. Example: (link to pictured post) Trying to reproduce the bug, I think this is how it occurs: Have your editor in WYSIWYG mode, and manually type [ code ] and [ /code] around a multiline group of text: Hit "Preview", and see that the preview looks fine, but the new code in the edit box is messed up: Note: You don't have to view the preview for the bug to occur, hitting "post" instead of "preview" will also cause the bug (or it may occur only after trying to edit a post, I'm not sure).

WYSIWYG forum editors have never really worked flawlessly, ever, on any forum I've ever been to. Honestly I would not be against just throwing it away and using the tried and true "raw" mode where you typeset your post in plain text mode. Or maybe use Markdown instead, which I found an elegant compromise between the irritating WYSIWYG interfaces and the tedious HTML/bbcode tag management.

Just throwing some ideas out there..
