If I type "<$" into the in-thread WYSIWIG editor, it deletes everything after that pair of characters.
If I type it in the post box at the bottom, no problem.
If I go to the advanced WYSIWYG editor, no problem.
If I type a novella of advice to a member here in the in-thread WYSIWIG editor, including a suggestion that he order a part which is "<$150 from XXX vendor", it deletes my entire post, infuriates me, makes me come and find this thread, tag you, and generally be less inclined to continue to participate in discussions on this forum.
I agree that the editor is taking it as some code string. I can't 'lose' my text though, it just won't submit the post, my text is all still in the editor. Is your experience different?
for me, it doesn't submit the post, all my text is still in the editor. I can't seem to actually have the text 'deleted', I'm not able to submit a post with that string at the beginning of it.
