Code is self-replicating on my pages in Code-Editor mode

  Hm, ok so that kind of makes sense. The editor automatically corrects invalidly nested HTML, so when you haven’t fully written it all out yet, leave, and come back, it has corrected the unfinished and therefore invalid HTML.

  As for poems in the new editor, we do have the Verse block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/verse-block/

  Interesting. I never knew about the “verse block” editor. I will check it out. Thanks!

  Recently, I am having the same problem on one of my pages, https://tofieldwritegroup.wordpress.com/monthly-roundup/, using Chrome and Firefox on Windows 10. My screenshots look like jsirkin’s. Also like jsirkin, I use Code Editor to create my pages; the Visual Editor makes for messy posts and pages.

  I created a copy of the page and saved a draft of it: https://wordpress.com/page/tofieldwritegroup.wordpress.com/3349, Roundup Code Test.

  I don’t seem to have problems with tag nesting.

  I appreciate any help editing my page.

  Apparently, the draft version, after reopening the Code Editor, has the same problem.

  I tried to paste updated HTML into the draft’s Code Editor page, but the editor never stops processing (replicating) the HTML on it.

  The source code on my original page is correct. I also placed an updated copy of the code in my Google Drive, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B27u9GKgmu3rQ21NNUVMSE91X2c/view?usp=sharing.

  I have used and updated this page for nine years; it is designed to be greened as information changes. The Code Editor problem has been happening for at least a couple of weeks only.

  This is a fatal problem and makes WordPress difficult to continue to work with.

  Sorry. For some reason, I copied the wrong URL from my Google Drive.

  The updated HTML for my Monthly Roundup page is located in this file.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Shawn

  Serious Bug: The Code Editor no longer works properly.

  Whoa. This problem has spread to every page and post on my site, regardless of length.

  And the Visual Editor will not allow me to format my pages and posts as I want. I can no longer update my site properly. (Check out the March section of my Monthly Roundup page, for example.)

  Please fix this serious bug or offer some help.

  Thanks,
  Shawn
