I’ve had this problem too, quite consistently, and over a longer period of time. It seems to happen randomly, but I do see it in previews, and also (particularly) when submitting to my scratchpad (mostly the private one).

I’ve developed the habit of checking the tail of whatever I’m posting, and removing any extra text, before pressing preview or submit.

Don’t know if it’s relevant or not, but I’m using Opera under Vista 32-bit. I either type directly into the submission window, or copy-and-paste from a text editor. choroba: I don’t use a Node Template. What difference would that make?

I suppose I just assumed this was a quirk of the PerlMonks website — but if a fix is possible, it would certainly be welcome.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
