Problem with BB code

[IcemanBo]

When editing this thread Memory Leaks, it always breaks the list and table tags in the TableOfContent.

When I try to "Edit" the post for the first time, the post preview is correct,
but when I change to "More Options" or to "BB Code Editor" it adds some extra tags which breaks the table a bit.

You can also test it with trying to edit the post, or try to quote me with using the "Reply" button and you will probably recoginize what I mean.

Is something wrong with how I use the BB code?

I just hit "Reply" below your post and then "More Options" and "Preview". It worked fine, no extra tags.

I see. Thank you for presenting this problem. I have reduced it to the following steps:
1. Go to create new post
2. Switch to plain text editor
3. Paste the following code:

[B][table]
[LIST][*][goto="C1"]Introduction[/goto][/LIST]
[/table][/B]

4. Switch to rich text
5. Press Preview

To present it to the makers of XenForo, I can replace table with quote and it will still show up weird.

[B][quote=Table of content]
[LIST][*]Introduction[/LIST]
[/quote][/B]

To fix it today for yourself, I would recommend you don't put B tags outside boxes. Try putting it around the list and see if it works better. If not, put it around every item in the list. Or disable the rich text editor completely :S. You can probably do that from user settings.

Inside table but outside list - did not work, too, but wrapping around each item works fine, thanks!

Or disable the rich text editor completely :S. You can probably do that from user settings.

I have issues to find the settings, can you maybe navigate me?

In Preferences you have "Use the rich text editor to create and edit messages". Hover your name top right and hit "Preferences".

Ah, correct, thank you.
