"Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" automatically being set
-
I have just been trying to post an answer under quick answers and everytime I click on "Update Answer" the "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" check box gets set. I clear the check box, preview everything then update the answer, tags show, go to edit the answer and the damn "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" check box is again checked.

at one time, the user was in control of those checkboxes when creating a new message, but not when re-entering the message editor page for editing the message (they would then default to how they were when the original editor page was exited). And the default state is also available on your settings page, under the forums tag. Hope that helps.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

unfortunately/strangely it has only happened for one message so far. I wrote the message, previewed it, all looked right, then posted it and :omg: all the tags are showing, so I checked all my settings and they were fine. It would also appear that I'm not the only person this has happened to.[^]

Well, I think I had that happen to me too, once, when editing an article in the Article Submission Wizard. But then it is hard to repeat or to proof, so ... BTW: CP has new technology in beta that probably will render that checkbox totally obsolete. They call it "CodeSniff". :)

Just file it under; It's very rare, It happens, It's more of an annoyance than a real "problem". :)
My favourite form of bug.

Not quite. The code sniffing code you so generously provided does wonders for pasting code but there remains the issue of what to do with text that contains < characters. If someone types in code, or pastes code inline instead of as a PRE block, then we still need to offer the option of treating the < character as a literal < and not as a tag marker. What the code sniff technology will remove is the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox, instead replacing it with 4 options (yes, not the 3 you initially expected ;)) Should be live in the afternoon.

Maybe you should have put up a warning, as the behavior has changed; if I were to type PRE tags, then paste in the middle of them (that's what I use to do most of the time), I would no longer get what I expect... :)
