BBCode tab layout?

[Maiden]

Not really sure what to title this but there goes.

If you're making something (say a complicated table) in BBCode and then switch to visiual to preview it/edit cell content (EPIC feature by the way, makes things so easy <3) when you switch back to the BBCode tab then it's eaten all how you had the code laid out and collapsed it all into one block of text.

Is there a way it could be made to not do this? (Or at least not until you've saved the post - I could cope with the fact when you come re edit you might need to space things out again)


Because I'm not sure I've made it clear what I mean. if I type in BBCode:

---

table header do da

table row 1 code

table row 2 code

table ending do da.

---

and switch to Visual and then back to BBCode it still looks like above rather than:

---

table header do da table row 1 code table row 2 ciode table ending do da.

---

Thanks!

It's funny, we just attempted to fix this last week.

VS Admin was working on a fix when I last heard. I think he ran into a problem, meaning it might not be coming. I use tables a lot and it's a personal annoyance of mine when this happens. I believe at this point it wont make launch, but I promise I will make sure we continue to attempt a fix for this.

Thank you.

We did try to see if we could do a quick fix on this, unfortunately it is not a quick fix and would require quite a bit of time and effort. It is on our future "to-do" list but will not be done in the near future.

Thanks for your responses both of you.

I shall eagerly await this after launch as it is the only thing that hinders the joy of making pretty tables. Maybe for now for complex things I will start using two posts so one can be laid out in a non-brain/eye hurting way and one I can paste into for previewing.
