Helou, Comunity... 
Did an Upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.. everything works fine...
Have just this small glitch:
Using the Editor in WYSIWYG Mode...
When I select a Smilie in the Editor with ":" (for example:smile:) and select the smilie from the then appearing List of smilies, I get:
<span>:smile:</span>
See this picture:
Not sure where to correct this...

And here the Statistics:
From Vanilla 2.2 to 2.3:
1 Debian Weezy

Can confirm, also noticed this bug on my install. Strangely enough it only seemed to do so on specific emotes.

ThX, @R_J ...
I took the new Version of the Editor out from github...
Smilies working, but no Buttons (Bold,Italic, etc.)
Have to look into it tonight...
p.s.: ENTWARNUNG!!
Did NOTHING... but now its WORKING...
Seems to be an transfer error yesterday...
ThX
Fein, fein!
Vanilla 2.3.1
Am I really the only one having always this issue??
Had to move my forum to a new Server...
After Migrating as explained here , the SPAN issue above occurs again!!
Did a comparison with the above solution and the Global.js file in Ver. 2.3.1. the codelines are missing!
Did the developers made another solution?
After putting the Codelines back into global.je, the SPAN problem dissaperars...
So just FYI...
if the code is missing open up a ticket on github an refer to the the original issue.
grep is your friend.
Did it... thx
