I post a lot of preformatted text using the code markup. There's a bug where the forum deletes some of my spaces. Here's an example of a block of text that is perfectly aligned into columns in my text editor. Yet, when I submit this, it's going to remove one space after "Demon", and several other words. There should be 7 spaces after "Demon" and only 6 get saved. However, if I edit the post after submitting and paste in the exact same text a second time, it will keep all of my spaces. Very strange! However, if I edit the post a second time it will mess it up again unless I paste in fresh text again. Here is an example of text I will enter once, and never update after I submit this: Code: Animal 52 Demon 30 Other 16 Undead 15 Vegetable 14 Construct 14 Here is one that I will paste in, edit the post, paste it in fresh again, then edit this post a third time without re-pasting it. Code: Animal 52 Demon 30 Other 16 Undead 15 Vegetable 14 Construct 14 This block will be pasted in the first time, left alone during the first edit, but then pasted in fresh before I submit my second edit. Only this one will appear accurately. Code: Animal 52 Demon 30 Other 16 Undead 15 Vegetable 14 Construct 14
Making another post to test a hypothesis. I also don't want to mess up the post above. (Well, I had to edit it anyway, after all for clarity.) The problem happens as soon as you click the Insert button in the Insert Code dialog. If I count the spaces after clicking Insert, it's 6 after "Demon" instead of 7. If I hand-type in the Code markup, then my text will be accurate when it first gets posted. However, as soon as I click Edit to edit the post, it removes some of the spaces.
