[wp-testers] The Captions On Images

[Musing Minds]

I looked at a post I'd done with a two line caption:
http://musing-minds.com/2008/12/24/christmas-eve/ and I had to make a change
in the html to get that two line caption working properly. For some reason,
in the html, it had the <p> the <br /> and the </p> in the alt= as
alt="&lt;p&gt;Norad Tracks Santa&lt;br /&gt;Click to see where he is!&gt;"
instead of putting any of that into the caption tag. I put it in as
caption="<p>Norad Tracks Santa <br /> Click to see where he is!</p>" and it
works.

So it seems as if WP is putting the caption html into the alt tag instead of
the caption tag.

Ahh I spoke too soon. It seemed to work, but when I've looked back at the
page it hasn't. I thought it was supercache but I've cleared it and it
doesn't seem to be that.

It's very odd. I've never had this problem before. I only posted it here in
the testers because I thought it might have been a bug that could be fixed
in the 2.7.1 release but maybe it's just me. :(
