Cutting and pasting a block of text with a pre block in it mangles the text.
Attempted HTML to copy:
class ReallyClassyCode { public function taptaptap(); public function isthisthingon(); public function hello();
Result (approximately):
class ReallyClassyCode { public function taptaptap(); public function isthisthingon(); public function hello();I discovered this trying to cut and paste using the HTML from Phab into a MediaWiki text. It almost worked, but the pre blocks made the output look a little too mangled. Example output from VE here: https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RobLa-WMF/preblock
