# HTML page editor reduplicates code

 * When I try to edit the HTML for an existing static page, WordPress multiplies
   my code out of control. Specifically, if I go to ** Manage > Pages,** choose 
   a page and click **Edit,** click the HTML icon to open the HTML editor, and try
   to add (for example) a <font color=”666666″> tag, after I click update, WordPress
   multiples the new tag out of control. I’ve had more than 100 copies of the tag
   added (both at the point in the code where I wanted to add it and in subsequent
   paragraphs or list items) –enough to cause the editor to stall out. The multiplication
   also occurs occasionally when I add tags through the visual editor.
 * Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? How do I stop it?
