<pre> tag messing up description editing

[ylin42]

[edited by kchen]
<pre> tags in the description aren't processed correctly when a new description is entered. cf http://puzzletron-dev.randomfish.org/puzzle.php?pid=5

(In production, puzzles 74 and possibly also puzzle 1)

[ylin42]

ah hahaha right, github also allows html tags.

[kchen]

Can you reproduce this in dev and post a link there? (Although I ended up accidentally clicking the puzzletron link instead of the github link, so I guess I'm already marked as spoiled on the puzzle.)

Could you clarify what the bug is? When I click the link to show the description, the text within the pre tags appears to be fixed-width, and the change comment also shows fixed width.

[kchen]

Oh wait, it looks like the change comment differs from the actual description.

[ylin42]

It's not a problem with the fixed width-ness, it's that the entire old description should be collapsed, not just the part until the tag.

Compare to http://puzzletron-dev.randomfish.org/puzzle.php?pid=4 where I changed the description a few times. You don't see any part of the old description at all in the comment thread, unless you click.

#42 notes that the <pre> tag also has double line spacing instead of single.
