Shortcodes Ultimate Breaks HTML Comments

Hi,

I’m currently using Shortcodes Ultimate version 3.7.0 and, while it’s an excellent plugin, it appears to be creating some weird issues if you use HTML comments (e.g. <!-- some comment here -->).

Doing some research and testing I came across this forum post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/visual-editor-now-strips-html-comments-new-in-32?replies=16#post-2402050 – sure enough, it seems that this is true.

If I disable Shortcodes Ultimate, HTML comments work fine. With the plugin enabled, the plugin seems to be converting the two dashes followed by the right chevron (-->) into the HTML entity of &#8211>.

Is there a fix for this? It would be great if there is – Shortcodes Ultimate is excellent and make light work of a lot of jQuery functionality. It would be a shame if I had to find another plugin to do this…
