Just noticed this while browsing an [article](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/csharp/threads/451901/weird-boolean-operator-trouble), the text was first displaying like so: ![b7083ca588becc7fe80e79f9a010f00a](/attachments/large/3/b7083ca588becc7fe80e79f9a010f00a.png "b7083ca588becc7fe80e79f9a010f00a") However once I had expanded the 'Show Comments' it seems to straighten out to what it should be: ![5a52727527c209a9f9e691b68239660a](/attachments/large/3/5a52727527c209a9f9e691b68239660a.png "5a52727527c209a9f9e691b68239660a") I am running Internet Explorer (Work laptop don't judge me!)
