Hello all, * I sent this e-mail yesterday as well, without subscribing to this mailing list, but it still hasn't show up in the archives (was it held for moderation perhaps?) so I decided to subscribe and send this e-mail again. *
I've set up a weblog with the WP 2.5 release candidate here - http://www.alexandervanloon.nl/english/ - and after some days of using the editor to write a very large post I have encountered a rather serious bug. Today I was going to edit my post again, but when I opened my web browser and accessed the draft I noticed in the visual editor that all the layout had been discarded, only spaces and letters remained. I accessed a backup of my post's HTML code which I backed up in a text file on my harddisk (fortunately I was smart enough not to trust beta software). I copied the HTML code of my post. In the editor, I selected and removed my entire post which had messed up layout. I switched to the HTML editor and pasted the backup post there. Then I switched to the visual editor again and noticed that my layout was messed up again. It's not always 100% reproducible, because I also sporadically witnessed that once I closed my browser, opened it again, tried to write a new post, paste the HTML code in the HTML editor, and then switch to the visual editor to see that it processed the HTML code correctly with layout. However, if I switch to the HTML editor again, I see the exact same messed up layout again without HTML tags. I've been working on this post in WP 2.5 for three days, and only tonight did I encounter this bug. The fact that the editor sometimes recognizes the HTML code of my post correctly and the fact that the code looks OK in a webbrowser makes me think that this certainly is a bug in WP 2.5. Also, if I paste the HTML code of my post to my other weblog which is running WP 2.3 the visual editor does always process it correctly. The backup of my post in HTML code can be found here - http://www.alexandervanloon.nl/epiphany_post_backup.txt - on my website. Besides reporting this serious bug which suddenly showed up, I'd like to say that WP 2.5 looks great with it's new admin panel. Thank you so much WP development team.
