Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

See the difference..
Actual Results:  
source code is changed @ many places

Expected Results:  
just change the text and leave the rest of the source code alone!

When i edit a webpage (just change a text) and then publish it on internet the 
webpage isn't displayed properly anymore. When i look in the source code some 
things i didn't change are changed. I set the option for RETAIN original 
formatting, but that didn't help.

How about looking in preferences: Preferences->Composer->When Saving or
Publishing Pages[...]
invalid?

I agree, this bug should be marked INVALID.
Although, I believe the setting that decides to rewrite parts of the code should
be disabled by default (that is, set to NO).

(In reply to comment #1)

I've already set in Preferences->Composer the option: Retain orginal source 
formatting. I believe this is the setting for DO NOT CHANGE the html format, but 
it certainly does.....

In that case, i can't reproduce the bug. 
I'm using Firefox right now, but at work i tried the last composer nightly, and
I've had no issue.

Please attach the actual file that got modified (the version before it got
modified) and clearly describe _what_ composer modifies.

Twan, can you try again your steps to reproduce with the latest build and see if
you get/don't get expected results. Please report back your findings; if the
problem is still there, update/clarify/explicit which steps are needed to
reproduce the problem. Thanks.

I got no reply from the reporter. 
http://www.documentconversie.denkbreed.nl/index2.html
leads to a 404 not found page.
So, from what I can see, this bug was a duplicate of bug 251686.
