@yohanderose I'm a bit confused as to what versions etc you're using here. Ghost hasn't had a "beta" editor since 5.68.0 released Oct 6th 2023 in which the old editor and beta switch was removed entirely.

Are you saying you have content that you created/edited in the beta editor in an old version of Ghost that is now broken in the latest release? (Note that once you edited a post in the beta editor it wasn't possible to revert it to the old editor, even after disabling the beta switch).

@kevinansfield, thanks for replying. I didn't actually edit anything in the beta editor; I just wanted to check out the feature.

I was self-hosting an old docker image on a VPS, and even once I upgraded to the latest, the weird formatting persisted, and applying any bold or italics isn't working.

[kevinansfield]

Is this occurring on every post or just with specific content?

[yohanderose]

Every post it looks like

[kevinansfield]

In that case it sounds like there's something in your browser may be interfering with the editor. When you preview or view the published post is the content there italicised?

[yohanderose]

Hmm, that's weird. I've tried Firefox and Chrome, and they have the same issue. The previews and live posts look fine

Just tried disabling all extensions as well but no change

[kevinansfield]

Can you use the browser's dev tools to inspect some of the italicised text and post a screenshot of the elements tab?

Just a reccomendation: When you upograde any software, even more if it's important for you, try to do it stepby step,minor version by minor version until you get to the latest or desired one.

Example:

If you are un 4.0.0, don't jump directly into 5.xx.x, do it at least with a couple of versions in between, like 4.0 -> to 4.5 -> 4.9 -> 5.0

This way you'll ensure the lowest chances of breaking changes when upgrading.

BTW, you could try to export and import your content. There is a chance that migrations or database upgrades did something weird at some point. BTW, do it into a dev environment, not directly into your main server.
