Missing Percent Signs

[Goeytex]

Using Standard Editor

Line 1: %00000011
Line2: %%%%%%%% - should be 8 percent signs
Line 3: %00,%00,%00 = should be percent sign + two zeros

Using Enhanced WYSIWYG Editor

Line 1: %00000011
Line2: %%%%%%%% - should be 8 percent signs
Line 3: %00,%00,%00 = should be percent sign + two zeros

Line4: %00000011,%00000011

 

[Goeytex]

Line1:%00000011,%00000011

If I edit this post with quick reply, the percent sign and first two zeros will disappear.

%00

Standard Editor

Line 1: %00000011,%00000011

Line 2: %00000011,%00000011

Conclusion: Missing Percent signs are a result of using the "Enhanced Editor"
If post is generated by Enhanced editor and then edited, the percent
sign and next 2 characters are stripped out.
Sometimes the percent sign is stripped out on the initial post
Using Firefox 10 and / 0r Latest Chrome

Suggestion to Self: Use either standard of plain editor as it is annoying to have other members point out "flaws" in code where the percent sign is missing.

test: 1011
test: %01010

Using %25 instead of just % retains the % when editing.

ADDED: Yes I know that 25 is the hexadecimal ASCII code for a percent sign - I looked it up from the AXE033 datasheet. It also seems that the problem only occurs on the first edit immediately after making a post.

No, this problem does not allow use of html tags.

FYI, the ASCII table is also provided in the Programming Editor. From the toolbar:

Help/ASCII Table​

and a pop-up window with the ASCII table is provided.
