another editor anomoly

EdStevens

I think this has just started recently.  Or at least I've just started noticing it recently (last few weeks?)

It seems that when someone posts a bit of code, then uses the "advanced" editor's formatting option, most if not all of the spaces in the code get collapsed. Here's an example I just saw:

Notice on lines 1, 5, and 8

There are also some places (4, 6) where space was preserved, but I'm fairly confident I've seen other examples where all spaces had been stripped out.  I've never observed this happening to anything I've posted.

Yes, we're seeing this same formatting error when you format code blocks

using HTML standard tags (e.g

tags) as well.

We have found a work around: Cut and paste accurately formatted blocks

from a Word document into the WYSIWYG editor.

It works about 75% of the time without any further manual spaces being

added or such.

It's on the list of requested fixes. Not sure when it's scheduled to

actually be fixed.

@monique may be able to comment further.

Ok.  I don't recall seeing it mentioned before (might have missed it) so thought I'd throw it out there.

I don't recall that particular issue either.

Never like putting things in Word and then copy/pasting from that... it adds all sorts of weird stuff and usually isn't good for code formatting.

Just a bit more example.

I just responded to a thread that had code formatting, and quoted the entire message.  The rendering of the formatted code was different between the original and the quote.

The original looks fine. No collapsed spaces:

But in the quote, the spaces were collapsed:
