I have created a custom block for use as my site's front page. The problem is that bb-code is being rendered to the front page, not text marked up as bold or whatever. For testing, the entire content of that block is 'this should be bold' applied with the B (bold) icon in the message area. The output to the front page is like:

[-b-]this should be bold[-/b-]

(I've added hyphens, not sure how else to post such text here without it rendering as bold)

Content type is set to html. I don't have this issue with other parts of XOOPS (2.2.3a) for instance the forum module seems to use the same set of controls, and bold items inserted with the icons render as expected.

If I use regular html tags in the block, they render as expected.
