Strange text appeared inside my posts

I saw an update this morning, so I updated. Unfortunately, now I’m seeing a bunch of strange text appearing in a bunch of my posts throughout. I try to edit the posts to see if there is something I can delete or change, and it’s just blank. Any suggestions? Below is an example of one of them:

v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
.shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

Normal

Hello @gogrw

It seems that the text of the shown post got copied from Word into the forum. Word usually includes some hidden scripts and styles which are used internally by it for certain functionality. However, those scripts are getting filtered out since the last update to ensure that users cannot inject scripts which can lead to security risks.

I suggest you to clear the content from the editor once completely and just copy&paste the text back into it to get rid of those Word-scripts which dont have any effect in WordPress anyway.

If you want to support the development of Asgaros Forum, you can leave a good review or donate. Thank you very much!

Okay. Thanks.
