[False Positive] Toggling source/preview of bullet list reformats list

[False Positive] Toggling source/preview of bullet list reformats list
This happens both if you toggle source or preview post.  Reformatting is non-destructive when each item in the bullet list is prefixed with an asterisk code.

Code:
regular text.
[list]
Item one
Item two
Item Three[/list]
That's the list.


Produces the following after toggling view source on and off.
Code:
regular text.


[list]
Item oneItem twoItem Three[/list]That's the list.

RE: Toggling source/preview of bullet list reformats list
That's not how you do a list, and I can't replicate it when the code is correct. For example, if I make a list using the editor (rather than manually) and then preview / toggle source, I get the following:

Code:
[list]
[*]Item 1
[*]Item 2
[*]Item 3
[/list]

This is the correct code and nothing breaks when I toggle back into preview mode, etc. I believe you just left out the [*] for each item?

Yes, the [*] was left out intentionally. If this is simply unsupported code, that's fine. It provided some additional functionality (being able to indent paragraphs) prior to the upgrade. If that added function is no longer (or never was) supported, then no biggie. It just seems like unexpected behavior.

Fair enough, they must have changed the way lists are parsed. If you want to indent text, I've added a new tag:


Code:
[indent]

Which will indent text like so:

    Indented.
        Indented more.
            Indented even more.
