Forum bug: code snippet changes after editing post

[unsigned_char_array]

If I have the following code snippet:

@Echo OFF

And I edit my post it changes to:

 OFF

In addition after edition the post it will add extra new lines around the snippet for each edit.

Syntax highlighting is good, but I'm missing a plain text option in case the language is not listed.

Yes, this is annoying.

Absolutely!

There is often a need to have just monospaced plain text - no syntax highlighting.

eg, build output; ASCII Art

Just trying it:

@Echo OFF

This is what I actually entered:

So, in my case, it still shows the "@Echo" - but it's changed the case!

Yes with me it changed the case too. It was all caps when I entered it. I think it confuses it for a username as the at symbol is used to reference users. But that should be ignored inside a code block. And with subsequent editing the at and the Echo will both disappear leaving the space and the off.

Ah yes - there is, indeed, as user named 'Echo':

LOL. I didn't even check. Good thing there is no user named DROP TABLE.
