Description

When you edit a <pre> block all blank lines are removed from the block.

Severity: normal

Appears parsoid is stripping extra linebreaks in <pre> tags. Maybe even a regression?

Verified that this bug is still around. This is not a selser issue, but a generic wikitext serialization issue.
