  Create a new Post.

  Enter the following:

  [sourcecode language="html"]
  <p>hello world</p>
  [/sourcecode]

  Click on Visual Editor. Click back to Text editor. The <p> tags are removed and it looks as follows:

  [sourcecode language="html"]

  hello world

  [/sourcecode]

  More info: If I change it again in the text editor and go back and forth, it seems to then stay. However, if I leave editor and go back in, then switch, the bug happens again.

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

  I am not referring to a specific post. I am referring to all posts with code. This was the main reason I moved two of my blogs from wordpress.com to host them myself (that an not allowing zip files).

  Anyway, I left my writing blog on WordPress.com (jabrambarneck.com) and just my luck I wanted to show some HTML for creating an epub and I ran into this bug again.

  I am referring to the act of writing a post. By the time I publish, I fix this bug but it takes time.

  I am currently writing this post but it isn’t public yet.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start new post.
  2. Change to Text tab.
  3. Add sourcecode in tags.
  4. Change back to Visual tab.
  The bug should reproduce here.

  Note: If the bug doesn’t duplicate, then try this:
  5. Change to the Text tab.
  6. Save draft.
  7. Change back to the Visual Tab
