1. Create a post with some syntax highlighting:

```javascript
function myFunction(x) {
    console.log(x);
    return x;
}

```

1. Save the post.
2. Edit the post - add a character or something.
3. Save the post.

After step 4, the syntax highlighting is removed for that post. It doesn’t return until the page is refreshed.
