Cannot format static item...
I think I am losing my mind. *Laugh*

I have been trying to format this story:

 
STATIC
Shelf Life Open in new Window. (18+)
A tale of a tater too proud to rot in silence.

I haven't run into any issues with the new editor until now. When I switch to Verdana, it is adding random white highlights over half my words... When I try to get rid of the highlights, it no longer shows as Verdana... Now it is showing random coding for highlighting that I never added. Even if I select the text and put it on no highlight, it's still showing the code.

I'm not sure what the problem is, or if I'm doing something wrong...

**Edited to add: When I am looking at the item in the edit mode, and even when I click "preview" everything looks perfectly fine. It's not until I hit submit that I'm getting all these issues on the finalized item.

****Edited again to add: I fixed it. I had to manually go through and remove every single highlight coding that it added. I'm still not sure why it added the highlights... and why it was an individual highlight code for each separate line... but it seems to look fine now. I'm really not sure how to explain it because I'm not sure what happened.
*Laugh*
