Link+Quote=Bad?Follow

Not sure if this is known or not, but it seems placing a link in a quote will cause some errors.

I'm using the latest updated firefox, and whenever I place a link in a quote, and the link ENDS at the quote, I get some html (I think) code. Something like />size 1 or something. Also, i've had the whole post turn in one giant link before...

Edit:

Quote:
size="1" />


This will probably also turn into one huge link when I hit edit, it did last time.

Edit: Ok not this time...

I've seen the same thing happen, only when editing a post though not on an initial post.

Putting an extra carriage return before the [/qu[b][/b]ote] tag seems to be a workaround, or just going back again and editing out the /> part.

Well at least it still breaks html

Looks like it doesn't happen when using quote tags anymore, only when a url is directly parsed.

This reminds me though of another issue iI have seen only happen when editing. Using the button to add quote tags around selected text appends the tagged text to the end of the post as well as leaves the highlighted text in place.
