If you go to Users->Your Profile, you can turn off the Visual Editor. You’re limited to writing your posts in HTML, which is definitely not optimal, but the damn WYSIWYG editor won’t strip out your formatting anymore.

I’d really, really like to see this fixed, wherever it needs to be (sick of reading flame wars back and forth about who’s at fault) since starting up Firefox everytime I want to post, when I’ve already got Safari open is a PITA.

Not sure if the fresh install thing is necessarily true — at least for 2.3. I installed 2.3 for the first time — no upgrade, and I have the problem, too.

Only thing that works for me is disabling WYSIWYG altogether and writing HTML. Definitely non-optimal for casual use. I’m really surprised to see this issue drag on for so long.
