Hi Stephan
Yes, that's a bug, I've just pushed a fix.
In general, if you're pasting in text with a lot of the characters like
<>[]{}|\/ etc that TiddlyWiki uses for formatting, then I'd recommend
pasting into a code block delimited by triple backticks:
```
code block containing weird and wonderful characters
```
Otherwise, something as simple as typing <parameter> will trigger
inadvertent wikitext processing (<parameter> would be turned into an HTML
element, and thus become invisible in normal view mode).
Best wishes
Jeremy
