There seems to be a bug caused by the "editing modes." I am having trouble locking down exactly what causes the bug, but sometimes after typing a bit, reading something some more, then coming back and typing more the text gains its HTML tags. Usually while typing I have several tabs open of sources I refer to for information, so it could be from multi-tabbed browsing and switching between tabs. I typed the following into a box to test, then at some point it changed to the bottom. Posting it as is would leave it garbled and with annoying HTML tags. Happens to me about once a day so it's hard to track down.
simply click the top left button in the edit to switch to bbcode, then back should fix it. Not a fan of the WYSIWYG editor either, I just stick to bbcode in forums.
That actually does not work. Once the bug has presented itself the code will stay true text.
Actually I just reproduced the bug.
I went to reply and had the above typed out.
I switched to bbcode editing mode.
I scrolled to my post above and clicked edit.
Inside the edit I changed editing mode back and forth from WYSIWYG and bbcode.
When I went back to the reply its html code had materialized.
Confirmed, changing editing mode on an edit while you have text typed into a reply will bonker up all the text. Will it default to bbcode if that's the last editing mode I used?
Edit: Apparently it does now default to bbcode for me.
Bug averted! There's the issue, but at least I don't have to deal with it anymore.
Keiser, it sounds like an issue on your end, either your running an addon or something needs to be updated.
when yous switch back and forth, you should only see the html for about 1/3 of a second, it then changes it into the "What you see" part. It seems like its skipping that part for you, something on your end must be blocking it.
noscript, even allowing all sites, could cause an issue at times.
