I typeset source code in my posts using a 
 tag. This code contains a > comparison operator. Upon saving my draft, > gets replaced with >, and this entity is also displayed in the article preview.

This happens even if I disable the visual editor.

The old editor does not present this bug and installing the Classic Editor extension allowed me to work around this.",defect (bug),new,normal,Awaiting Review,Editor,5.0.2,major,,dev-feedback needs-patch,,javascript
