Shroomery BBCode Parser / Editor Order-of-Operations Error / Bug (Minor)

#29653748 - 08/23/26 03:31 PM (1 month, 6 hours ago)

I ran into an interesting BBCode parser quirk while formatting a long reference post. The color tag itself works perfectly, including the editor's built-in color picker, but the order in which the formatting tags are nested seems to matter.

For example, this looks perfectly valid in the preview:

TEST

But after saving, the color disappears.

This works:

TEST

And this works as well:

TEST

So it appears that [color] needs to be the innermost formatting tag when combined with larger, bold, etc.

I also noticed that reopening the post can normalize the BBCode back into the problematic arrangement, which made this particularly confusing during troubleshooting. The preview looks right, but the saved/rendered post doesn't necessarily reflect it.

The built-in color picker produces the working syntax automatically, so I don't think this is a problem with the color syntax itself. It seems more like a nesting/parser behavior.

Not a huge issue, but I figured it was worth mentioning since it took some experimentation to isolate the behavior.
