People are "kind of" hiding code in the code preview window. Especially in python. Because you can insert multiple lines of code on 1 line in python, by putting a semi colon ; before the next action. People have been abusing this by hiding code far over the right side. So when you preview it, unless you scroll horizontally over to the far right, it won't be scene.

I did test to see if it could preview the same in this post but it doesn't work. However, just go careful that all code your reading has nothing hidden anywhere. Normally they are implementing features like browser token stealers.

A potential fix for this is if someone puts a bunch of spaces in their code, which moves something far off the page. Remove all the spaces, and replace them with a small semi transparent arrow pointing to the right. Letting users know the arrow isn't written by the author, but there is a bunch of spaces that move it off screen.

Another fix is auto formatting in the preview window. This doesn't apply when you download the code. Only when previewed on the website.
