When saving articles with inline JS and CSS enclosed by script and style tags, some of the code gets disrupted by pre tags inserted in to code and quotation characters removed and replaced. Is there any way to avoid this?

Using JCE Pro 2.8.3

Before saving, if you change to the code tab, are the script and style tasg chaned in the same way? Has a <pre> tag been added?

Seems to happen on save

If you toggle the editor off (using the "power" button on the top-right of the editor) or switch to the code tab, and your code appears to be intact, but it is then altered in some way when you save, or when it is displayed in the front-end, then this change is not being done by the editor, but by some other extension or plugin.

Is the code saved with the changes, or only displayed in the front-end in that way?

I will try to keep an eye for for when the change occurs. The change displays in the front end AND in the editor view when I re-open the article. Could this be from HTML validation?

No. If it was you would see the change when you went into Code view or toggled the editor off. Changes that occur during saving the content to the database are not under the control of the editor.

I have just confirmed, it happens on toggle from Code to Editor - not on save. I am posting the before and after below (forum wont let me post code):

I am still not able to replicate the issue on your site, but I did encounter some javascript errors which have been fixed in JCE Pro 2.8.4 RC3, which has been installed on your site.

I created a screen video. You can see the change happen at the end of the javascript block - everytime:

This appears to be caused by the Markdown plugin in JCE which is interpreting some of the characters in the code as markdown syntax, and converting them

Disabling the Markdown option in Editor Profiles -> Features & Layout fixes this for now, but I will investigate and attempt to fix this permanently.

OK thanks. Have disabled the feature on all our sites for now.
