this has happened to me multiple times and now seems to be happening every time I try to edit my sig, regardless of how much I try to stop it:

when editing a spoiler it splits into two parts for no reason?
example:

this happened to me when i clicked edit signature just a few seconds ago and changed nothing
the signature I have right now is exactly what you're seeing in this picture but for some reason the spoiler split when I previewed it.

I've also had this problem when making threads too. it's not related to having a spoiler in a spoiler (like I originally suspected) because I made a thread in new neighbour network fairly recently that had this same issue and that didn't have a spoiler in a spoiler

it's getting kinda annoying and the only way I've ever been able to fix it is randomly tampering with it. anyone know what's going on here?

EDIT: just realised my example probably looks kind of wacky lol, I use an extension that makes every site I visit dark mode. I can't stand white websites im sorry man
 
Have you tried pressing the 'Toggle BB code' button and manually changing it?

I have! that actually makes some really strange things happen to the signature. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it'll be normal for a second, but once I toggle and untoggle bb code (whether I make a change or not) a ton of [spoiler=wanderers]s and [/spoiler]s appear even though I never put them there? I tried removing them but it stays split too

I really don't think I'm describing this very well lol
 
Hey so this is a little hard to explain,

I've noticed within the past few weeks when I'm editing things like my sig & threads (especially when spoilers are involved,) that there have been odd discrepancies between the BB code items that I type & what actually appears. A few examples:

-For some spoilers, I will go into my thread and edit the contents of the spoiler, but then when I click "save" it will switch around the beginning or end of the spoiler and even add an additional spoiler that I did not type. Its very frustrating because no matter how many times I go back in to edit, it always reverts to showing additional or simply erroneous locations for where I place the spoiler end "{/spoiler}" One time no matter how many times I went back in to edit, it would add additional spoilers that I never typed in that I couldn't delete. I've had to re-type the entire contents of some of my threads to prevent it from adding additional spoilers and idk whats been triggering it.
-Similar to the above point, the font BB code items will switch around locations for where I type the beginning and end (like where I type {FONT= book antiqua} and such.)
- Again on a similar note, BB code commands such as {CENTER} that I type at the beginning and end of a paragraph will revert to being placed all right at the beginning upon saving certain things in threads and signatures. Like for the past few times I've edited my signature, I have to correct the ending of the center command because when I go to edit, both the beginning and ending of the center command weirdly relocate to being both right at the beginning (which renders the command useless as all the content is being automatically placed after the end of the command...)

even as I'm typing this post, it is adding in end commands to the font and center BB code commands I typed as examples. I had to switch out the brackets [ ] for these { } to stop it from automatically adding in the end command in random locations.
Also I should mention I've typed out posts both with the BB code toggled on & off and experienced the same issues both ways.
omg I posted this weeeeeeeks ago in bell tree 3.0 issues tracking thread and nobody got back to me. But it sounds like it’s similar/related to your issue, it happens with more than just spoilers for me but most commonly with spoilers. Super annoying.

and thanks for sharing, mods pls read their quoted post, it explains it a lot better than i did
and please help lol, this is a super annoying issue that I get almost every time I post a new thread or change my sig.
