  All of a sudden when using [sourcecode language="sql"], my code is not appearing like it was yesterday or for the last year or more. Today, the display is stretched so it does not fit width-wise anymore, the alternate row shading is gone and the icons at the top (like copy, etc.) are gone. Here is an sample post: http://victoriayudin.com/2013/02/28/sql-view-for-sales-quantities-by-item-by-site-by-year/.

  I have tried in multiple browsers and on different computers with the same results.

  Thanks,
  Victoria

  Hi, I think I have the same question – I don’t mind that much that the icons are gone (although they were nice), but what’s really annoying is that the source code doesn’t wrap any more, instead it shows these scrolling bars at the bottom that, frankly, look horrible (see http://theoreticalecology.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/metropolis-hastings-mcmc-in-r/ )

  Any possibility to get the old [sourcecode] back or at least to get the code to wrap?

  Yes, florianhartig is exactly right. There was a day when these were not working at all, the code was not showing and there was a broken picture link or something like that instead, then it changed over to this new display which is truly horrible. Every time I look at it I cringe.

  The only reason I have not switched back to just using plain text for it is that I spent a lot of time changing most of my code to this format and I have a lot more code at this point than I did when I started changing it. On my blog it also shows up in a much bigger font than it used to, which is bigger than regular text.

  I am wondering why it changed…it was really awesome before. :-(

  It seems at some stage there was a default of wraplines=”true” that could be overwritten, but that doesn’t seem to work anymore

  I am talking about the way the code is displayed if you use [code] ... [/code] or [sourcecode] for that matter – it used to look quite different (better I would say)
