If a list item starts with a multiple line code or quote BBCode directive it isn't handled correctly. The special formatting is only applied to the first line, with all subsequent lines being formatted with just the list item indent. In addition, when you do a post preview everything after the first broken line appears outside the preview box, giving the impression that the post has been truncated.

• This code directive works as expected.
  
  

  First line.
  Second line.

  
  
• As does this quote directive.
  

  First line.
  Second line.

  
  

• First line.
  Second line (appears to be outside the code block but it wasn't).

  
  This line and everything after it appears outside the preview box.
  

• First line.
  Second line (appears to be outside the quote block but it wasn't)

  
  This list item is not bulleted in post preview (because it's outside the highlighted preview box?).
  

Edit: opened Trac ticket 622.

I just clicked Reply, removed the top and bottom [quote] tags, and preview seemed to work as expected (ie. same as on your actual post). So: cannot reproduce the preview bug.

Actually, it's causing some code to appear inside the <ul> element but outside any <li>. That is invalid HTML, so probably my browser (Konqueror) is handling it differently from yours. I'll try Firefox.

(content inside ul but outside li = undefined behavior, so browsers could do *anything* upon finding such invalid code... including rendering the whole webpage upside down if they want to; see undefined behavior on Wikipedia)

Confirmed, Firefox shows it all messed up.

The second line of the showing up outside the code block is caused by even worse invalid code (improperly nested tags: <li><code></li></code> that kind of overlapping is forbidden). It shows in a separate line in Firefox, not in Konqueror. (Again, browsers would be allowed by spec to do anything with that invalid code, like delete those elements completely, draw a totally blank page, or set the computer on fire.)

Thanks for those tests Nicolas. Should have mentioned I was using Firefox.

Just tried IE and it's fine except for the positioning of the list item bullets.

For the second code block it appears on the second line just before the code block.

For the second quote block it is on the first line without any indent.
