Escaped code in the new editor

  I’m using [code] shortcodes to post some source code snippets on my blog. Theoretically this should be easy: past the code in, wrap it in [code] [/code] and you're done.

  The problem I've found is that when I switch to the new editor (the "switch to the improved posting experience" link) it actually escapes the code. Since code in [code] shortcodes doesn't need to be escaped, it is displayed as is on the post. I end up with stuff like this:

  library("RJSONIO")
  library("RCurl")
  page <- pnum

  What do I need to do to stop the editor from automatically escaping my code?

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

  Of course posting in here, the code is unescaped when it is rendered. It actually looks like this:

  
library("RJSONIO")
library("RCurl")
page <- pnum

  Well I can’t get it to display here earlier. I’ll just add spaces. You get the point:

  library(& quot;RJSONIO& quot;)
  library(& quot;RCurl& quot;)
