Hi All

I happened to read and test the formatting tips suggested at the end of every text editor while creating or replying a node and i found the following..

Bug Definition : All text outisde the text editor goes to small font/formatting if <pre> is used before and after text typed.

Step to reproduce

1) type some text and prefix <pre> and suffix <pre>tag and press the Preview radio button.<p>

2) ( OR ) Type some text with various other formatting and finally for the last but one sentence end it with '

"write something" <pre>

3) Press the "preview" radio button and view the text outside the text editor ( i reccomend you to see the whole page , top to bottom ).

Observation ; All text outside the editor gets converted to small font size for example : "Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where should I post X? to know for sure"

the above is visible in font Verdana Regular Size 7.5 but once pressed a preview button it changes to Times New Roman 7.5 but appears in a very small font size on the screen.

Note : As a tester I am aware that this could be the problems due to my system fonts being corrupted or some application messing the font suitcase.

My PC configuration : Windows XP ( not experience ;-) , MS Office ( latest , watever with pathces ) , IE explorer 5.5 or above.

If this is not reproducible at your end , kindly excuse BUT i did check several times.

Regards

Pradeep or prad 

 I could be wrong but I am tester , mostly I am paid to be wrong to make others right

Edit by castaway - closed hanging pre tag ;)
