A figure tag gets an injected ghost p tag

[grayghostvisuals]

It seems in the WordPress 3.9.2 release anything wrapped in a figure tag gets a ghost p and br tag injected. Seems a similar ticket was closed, but I'm not seeing a status on the release of this fix.

Author Input

<figure>
<pre><code>code sample</code></pre>
<figcaption>a small note about the figure above</figcaption>
</figure>

WordPress Output:

<figure>
<pre><code>code sample</code></pre>
<p></p>
<figcaption>a small note about the figure above</figcaption>
</figure>
<br>

Thanks for the report, grayghostvisuals - I'll have someone confirm 29219.diff​ as the proper fix.

29219.diff looks good. <figcaption> is pretty similar to <li>. It's not a "typical" block tag, can only be inside <figure> and can contain "flow content".

In 31186:

Ensure that <figcaption> is not autop'd.

Fixes #29219.

In 31191:

After [31186], remove figcaption from the list of inline elements that are autop'd in Tests_Formatting_Autop::test_that_wpautop_treats_inline_elements_as_inline().

See #29219.
