Are you sure there was ever any code in that question? Looking at the revision history[^], I can't see any.
And it's not just that he forgot to HTML-encode his XML; there's nothing in the source of the page either.

Are you sure that OP didn't try to paste a code?
As i mentioned, i've struggled the same yestaerday.

Maybe it was related to yesterday's interesting deployment[^]?
It doesn't seem to be affecting new questions in QA, so if it was a bug, it looks like it's fixed already.

What specifically wasn't working? Do you have an example I can test against?

Well... As i mentioned, using <pre></pre> tags causes embedded text deletion. Follow the link provided in a previous post.
For example, a result 1 should contain all nodes between <Types></Types> tags, but is has been cutted to:<Type>part of content here</ObjectType>. Note, that when i use "Improve answer" widget i see entire content! Another issue is that that a lang property for pre tag is missing. Whenever i tried to add this in pre tag, it has been removed. It should be: <pre lang="XML"></pre>
Is it clear now?

I saw that and there's a question as to whether the poster actually included code, or whether they included code as actual HTML instead of HTML encoding it (HTML code within PRE blocks automatically gets HTML encoded, so I'm guessing it was the former)
<html>
<p>This should all be encoded.</p>
</html>
I just noticed you added a link to another instance of tags being removed. I added "lang=xml" to that block and everything's now fine. However, I've added that code as a test case because it's the colouriser that's killing it, not the HTML cleaner. We'll get this fixed.

At a guess what may be happening is the person pasted in XML without HTML encoding it, and it was stripped. I'd have to check.
Pasted in HTML/XML is meant to be HTML encoded if inside a PRE block, but the code has changed a lot over the last week in order to crank up security. We've previously been fairly loose about what we allow, but we can't do that anymore so we've been erring on the side of caution.
I'll add this as a bug to check and if my guess is true it should be a simple fix.
In the meantime: encode your HTML when pasting in code blocks

Is it just me or did the Lounge suddenly turn black? 
It's not possible to post anything there either, apparently...

Forget it, now it seems back to normal (don't know if posting is possible again, though)

I've edited your message in an attempt to correct your HTML. Initially I was staring at it sideways and could not work out what was meant to be happening. Let me know if my corrections are correct.
As to expert mode, that needs revamping. It was initially a setting for when we used HTMLArea and it helped fix up some of the crazy stuff that was allowed through. With the move to CKEditor and our use of AngleSharp, all HTML is now forced to be well-formed.
We force well-formedness (that's a new word - feel free to use it in a sentence today) because anything else allows HTML injection issues, content bleeding, and general page screwiness.
The alternative is we switch to Markdown with HTML turned off completely, but that would make my curl up into the foetal position and weep.
So: if I get this right, multiple BR tags get converted to single BR's with a non-breaking space afterwards? That's an odd one.

I assume the options for Profile Popups, Spacing, Layout, Per Page are stored in a cookie. It would be nice if that information got stored in your profile so that any browser/machine combination you used would all show the same way.

Except...what about those who use a PC in the day, and a phone on the way home? And then a tablet at home? Cookies allow you to set your preference on a machine by machine basis so it's comfortable for that specific display. And it's hardly any real work to change them just once per device, is it?

It is. In fact it's stored in both your profile and in cookies.
The logic is:
You're logged in on one browser and you set your settings. This is stored in your profile. You then go to a different browser or machine, you aren't logged in, and you change your browser settings. These are stored as cookies. You then login on this second machine and we then update your settings based on the cookies, and then when you go back to your original browser your settings have been updated to reflect your latest preferences.

I don't quite follow exactly. I logged into CP on a new laptop I got and had to redo the settings I mentioned in my original post, even though I was logged in, which led me to believe they are only in cookies.

This is terrible idea. For example I have the following thread view settings in my hardwares.
iPad Air Setting
Spacing - Compact Layout - Thread View Per Page - 25
Laptop Setting
Spacing - Relaxed Layout - Normal Per Page - 50
I'm very much happy with those setting and don't want to stick with uni settings to all my hardware.

Fortunately, all my viewing is through real browsers, but I think the logic is not quite right.
IF I were king of the forest I'd allow overriding the profile based settings - but would assume they're ephemera. Otherwise we might indeed induce a setting whiplash between devices.
Or, if I've not made myself clear - initialize with profile (even if with cookies) and then allow cookie-based modifications - but don't bang the (comparatively) permanent settings without some sort of OK.
I've experienced crazy screen views because my first access was via an email response or news of some type - my login not yet present. Unnecessary resetting.
But you are king of this forest - but confirmations are good (or even a setting to update or not each time in the profile !)
