Automatic List coding error

[Wordaspect]

With TinyMCE Advanced Version 4.6.7 occurs an error in coding while switching between visual and text editor

Step 1) writing in visual editor and assigning listing to boh lines:

* topic 1
* topic 2

Step 2) results in corrct coding in text editor

    <ul>
        <li>topic 1</li>
        <li>topic 2</li>
    </ul>

Step 3) insrting a break and a space in the visual editor after “topic 1”

* topic 1

* topic 2

Step 4) and switching to the text editor gives also a correct code, even so the “<br> ” is deleted:

    <ul>
        <li>topic 1</li>
        <li>topic 2</li>
    </ul>

Step 5) but switching afterwards back to the visual code results in a weard coding and the text editor has following to show:

    <ul>
        <li style="list-style-type: none">
    <ul>
        <li>topic 1</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
        <li>topic 2</li>
    </ul>

These works always like this with the mentioned steps above.

Hi @Wordaspect, thanks for the bug report.

Confirmed, happens only when the caret is in the <li> element or some text in there is selected and you add a <br> at the end of the <li>, and there are no other characters after it.

This is a rare edge case in the "keeping the caret position" code and is now superseded by the block editor. Closing as wontfix, feel free to reopen (preferably with a patch) if this still needs fixing in the classic editor.
