BUG?: Alt Text for Cache Image Changes When Saved

[+VAVAPAM]

Attempting to insert the html text recommended for "decorative images" ( alt="" )  however, when I save it, it's stripped down to just alt .

 

For example, in GC7D1C7

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/4108883e-86e6-4db9-b6ab-659c81148883.jpg" alt="" /><br /></p>

Becomes, upon saving,

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/4108883e-86e6-4db9-b6ab-659c81148883.jpg" alt /><br /></p>

 

This stripping occurs upon saving with all the caches I've edited for decorative images. It DOES NOT occur if there is actual text entered between the quotation marks.

Interesting inconsistencies...

 

WYSIWYG: Empty attributes (all) are left as attribute="" when switching to visual and back to source.

On saving: Empty attributes (all) are stripped to just attribute in the source.

 

WYSIWYG: Valueless attributes (all) are converted from attribute to attribute="" when switching to visual and back to source.

On saving: Valueless attributes (all) are left as just attribute in the source.

 

It seems the server end save sanitization differs from the wysiwyg editor sanitization on whether to force attribute="" or just attribute.
