In theory you can use the shortcodes in the visual editor and wordpress should take care of it, but using shortcodes in visual mode is not a consistent thing. Thanks for posting that as it had not occurred to me that that could be the issue.

Here is the problem solution:
Don't use VISUAL mode for this.
Use HTML mode :)

I would contact staff directly on this. I suspect they need to do some massaging of the code on the backend.

Humm ... even stranger than i thought.
I start typing some text and then use the pluging for the code i want to post.
[sourcecode language='cpp']
#include<iostream>
int main(){
std::cout << "Hello";
}
[/sourcecode]

Then, when i "save draft" e have to change from visual to HTML and back to visual to make it look ok?!

Noticed that they show exactly the same in the text above!

Hi
I'm using this to post C++ code:
[sourcecode language='cpp'] cout << "Hello"[/sourcecode]

If i save the post the characters '<<' are replaced by '<<'

Why is that?

Thanks
