OSQA seems to have taken a lesson from Clippy the "helpful" paperclip and attempts to autoformat lists as you start to type them.

However

  1. This seems to be broken. (at least in Fantasy Island Beta 3)
  2. Even if it weren't I'd like to turn it off.

Is there a way to turn it off?

Example of broken behavior. (using Fantasy Island Beta 3):

Typing the following in OSQA Fantasy Island Beta 3:

 1. eat peas

followed by a carriage return causes the following replacement:

 1. eat peas
1.
 2. List item1.

1.

Which gets rendered as:

  1. eat peas 1.
  2. List item1.

1.

This is just plain standard markdown. Don't see why you think its broken...

Example added. Even if it was behaving, I'd still be looking for an option to turn it off. I'm asking if that option exists.

There's no such option. Here's the editor OSQA uses. If you manage how to disable it there, just replace the editor files in the theme.

I don't see this behavior on meta.osqa.net so I'm assuming the editor has been upgraded since Beta 3, correct?

Refer to Jordan's answer.

The editor has been updated and patched in revision #1118: http://svn.osqa.net/changelog/OSQA?cs=1118

Consider updating to the latest trunk version.

How often is meta updated?

@genesis, please enter new questions as top-level postings rather than asking them inside the answers and commentary of other questions.
