Missing close </p> tag in wpautop

[scenic]

wpautop seems to change <p><div></div></p> to <div><p></div> (note the lack of a closing </p> in the second). This broke XHTML compliance in some text appended by a custom plugin of mine, but I'm guessing it would affect any div's I put in via the edit page.

I've attached the patch, but the short version of the fix is adding this line below after line 66 in wp-includes/formatting.php.

$pee = preg_replace( '|(</div[^{>]*>\s*)</p>|', "</p>$1", $pee );}

Patch to fix this bug

The problem was introduced in this [4565] which was intended to fix #2647. But the patch in #2647 doesn't contain lines 66 to 68 in [4565]. Where were those lines from?

This is cause plugins that generate <div> tags to fail. WPG2 is the prime example.

Could someone please explain what the extra lines (66-68) in [4565] do? I suggest backing that 3 lines out to fix this problem.

(In [4894]) Don't insert p inside of div. fixes #3669

I can still  reproduce this bug. Running WordPress MU 1.2.1 (the wpautop() function is currently exactly the same as in trunk with your fix).

Nope. Fixed. Works on r5269.
