Confirmed Hyperlinks copied from external sites show up in html format on my forum

[Aaron1981]

Affected version

2.3.2

I copy a hyperlinked text like the one below to my forum:

As social scientists, psychologists aim to understand the behavior of individuals and groups. [3][4]

On my forum, it shows up as this:

As social scientists, psychologists aim to understand the behavior of individuals and groups.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology#cite_note-Fernald-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology#cite_note-Psychology-4"><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></a>

This bug seems to occur after upgrading to Xenforo 2.3.2. Others have reported the same problem here: https://xenforo.com/community/threa...m-show-up-in-html-format.224832/#post-1703669

Would I have to tell all of my users to Select the plain text option for their browsers?


I guess thats better than all of the html tags that show up.

The bug is confirmed.

It's due to recent editor changes so will be addressed for a future release.
