Same here, but with more details :

If in a wiki you insert a table with some html list in it (like this smile

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <ol>
        <li>whatever1</li>
        <li>whatever2</li>
        <li>whatever3</li>
      </ol>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Save, open back the "modify" page click on <> to see the html code and 3 of those div lines appears. Save like this and open back the "modify" page and you get 7 lines. Do it again nad you'll get 12 lines, etc.

A teacher in our university made a big table with lots of list entries in and after a few students modified the table, there was about 12.000 lines of parasite code !

Is there anything supposed to happen to fix that in the future ?

This is a known bug in the wiki. Sorry, I don't have any information about when it might be fixed.

I have found this problem in wiki pages without tables. I have had some success removing the bad code from posts so that the students may continue work. In cases where Moodle or the web browser has become unresponsive, I have been able to edit the wiki_pages table directly in the Moodle database using phpMyAdmin to remove the bad code.
