  Hello, I think i discovered some weird bug.

  I try to enter this code, in html mode.

  [sourcecode lang="sql"]
  WHILE COALESCE(SCOPE_IDENTITY(), 0) < = 1000000
  [/sourcecode]
  try to create a link
  and some text after

  But when i preview the result the html will be this:

  <div class=’snap_preview’><pre name=”code” class=”sql”>

  WHILE COALESCE(SCOPE_IDENTITY(), 0) < = 1000000

  <p>try to create a link
  and some text after</p>
  </div>

  Notice how the a-tag does not have an ending .
  If I remove the row: WHILE COALESCE(SCOPE_IDENTITY(), 0) < = 1000000. Then everything works fine.

  You can see an example here: http://patrikc.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/wordpress-bug/
  the password is: secret

  Any ideas?

  It seems like this also reproduces the issue.
  [sourcecode lang="sql"]<[/sourcecode]

  What a strange little bug. I have reported it to the developers for review. The only workaround I can see at the moment is to close the <>. So, if you put a > somewhere else in the sourcecode, the code outside the scope of the sourcecode shortcode will not be affected. It’s not ideal, but it’s something.
