For Bug Reports

BookStack Version: 0.17.4
PHP Version: 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4
MySQL Version: mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.0.29-MariaDB

Expected Behavior

Code box in WYSIWYG editor should be displayed properly (like it did before)

Actual Behavior

Code box in edit mode is mangled, it's fine when viewing the page though. As a "workaround", it seems to work when putting the code box inside a quote box.

Code box preview (editing)

Code box on saved page (viewing)

Code box inside quote box (editing)

Hi @fredericmohr,
I also noticed this, I think it's a caching issue of some kind. For me It went away after a hard refresh (Ctrl+R in chrome for Ctrl+F5 in IE I think).

Not sure why as the BookStack version is usually tagged on to any linked scripts. Let me know if clearing the cache works for your here.

I'm guessing that with #457 the cache expired or a different browser was used thus why things started randomly working.

Works fine in firefox private mode, so I guess you're right. Seems to be a caching issue.
