Code syntax highlighting with new editor

    In trying to revive an old blog of mine, one of my main purposes is to post snippets of code that others might find useful. However, I discovered that the new editor does not play nice with the code syntax highlighter that WordPress.com provides (with the [code ...] method). The new editor seems to convert special characters to their HTML codes, regardless of whether or not the character is in a code block.

    I've written about this today on my nascent blog (the code is in R, FWIW): http://flowdirections.wordpress.com/

    My purpose here is to inform the WordPress.com staff about this issue in the hopes that they can eventually resolve it and to warn others about this, and see if anybody else is having this issue. I haven't seen this issue in the classic mode, so will stick with that for now.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
