I've just noticed that few random articles that I haven't edited yet also have messed up formatting. For example here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/wieczne-miasto-luciferoo/a/abrahmityzm-organization First paragraph is Justify two next are aligned to the left and then the rest is also in justify. I made the whole article Justify, but somehow now the two paragraphs switched back to the default.

Hello Lucifer! We made changes for the alignment stuff because we needed a way to unify the formatting somewhat either before or after an element etc. if you remember what was the bbcode before the changes you can copy/recreate the article and paste it here so I can check if the parser is doing something it shouldn't :)

Did you use the visual editor previously or euclid?

Hey @mikolaszko, all my articles were created with the Old Version Edit with View Source option active. They all are formatted properly now across all my worlds, but when I open them in the New Edit (I can't tell you which is it visual or euclid, as I'm a bit confused which is which, but I can tell you it's the newest one) the formatting breaks. There was no changes made to bbcode by me. Just opening the articles in the New Editor breaks formatting without my interference. The fixing of those broken articles is not an issue at all. I can handle that. The only thing I really want is to prevent this from happening in the rest of my articles when I try to edit them in future.

Hey @mikolaszko I wanted to follow up on my previous message. I did a bit of testing on smaller articles and I think I was wrong. I think it wasn't caused by opening it in edit window per se, it was caused by me using the three dots and using option Go to Old Version Edit which broke the formatting for me. I did open few articles without going to the old edit window and the formatting didn't break.

Unfortunately my enthusiasm was premature. As soon as I edit the text and it's saved the formatting breaks. No matter that I do it in new window view. And on top of that I can't even fix it anymore...

I mistakenly thought this was a wysiwyg issue when you clearly stated you've been using euclid - ill resassign the task to someone who is responsible for the project
