Code box shows text in reverse...

See http://forums.adobe.com/message/2933007#2933007 and next post

I gave a series of commands how to unregister a DLL, and to make it clear I used the 'Syntax Highlighting' | 'Plain' feature of the forum editor.  The text was clear and visible until I clicked the 'Post Message' button, then the text appeared ... well, somewhat garbled.  It appears as it shows only the first part of the text, but in reverse!

I did another post with just the commands, again in a Syntax Highlight code box; this time it appears correct.

Anyone else seen this...?

Any advice how to avoid this?

My HTML knowledge is probably more ancient than yours. I'm just passing along comments. I agree, it should be fixed in the CSS.

I see it in several browsers. The issue disappears if I force

http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/adobeforums/lib/com.adobe/template/optimized/screen.optimized.css

not to load so it appears to be something the Adobe design team needs to

look at.

A similar - much simpler - case: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2948264#2948264

The 'and/or' between the list items displays correctly in the editor, but gets reversed as soon as I post the message.

It appears as if we have two separate, although similar issues here.

The first issue, with reversed characters inside code boxes, appears to be fixed - thank you!

The second issue, as reported in my previous post here, is not.

I have created a test topic that shows both issues: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/678821

Reported. Looks like it is an issue with the strong tag.

I think the web team identified the issue in the CSS files.

Is Jive formatting the lists there? Or are you hand-coding? They did point out that there is some malformed HTML there...

<ul>
    <strong>text here</strong>
    <li>Text here</li>
</ul>

The <strong> text should be within the <li>

The list was originally formatted by the forum editor, then modified with manually entered HTML.

The reason why I did it this way was that I did not want this text as a bulleted line, but just a plain line.  This is - to the best of my ancient knowledge - not "illegal" HTML; it works perfectly fine in a standard HTML document.

If you advise me not to use this particular HTML coding anymore, then I will certainly follow your advice.  But if it can be fixed in the CSS, then I would like to extent a hearty thank you to you and the web team.

Just checked the test topic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/678821 and it appears as if all issues with reverse text are now fixed.

Thanks again!
