 * With the recent upgrade a simple snippet shortcode began insert ‘<p>’ and ‘</
   p>’ and the beginning and end of rendered result.

 * I am seeing the same things, but mine is a little worse because it is also added
   <script> tags before the Shortcode. which shouldnt be there and is messing up
   the formatting on my site. This only happens with the 1.8.6 plugin version.

 * For the `<p>` tags issue look at this:

 * as for the script being added … I have no idea what that is and i can’t replicate
   so i guess its something in your setup.
 * more details will help.

 * For the <p> </p> tag issue I have tested all the options in the “Fix AutoP filter:”
   feature. None of them make a difference and it is still puts the <p> tags around
   my short codes. for example check out [http://samplesite2.optimized-marketing.com/](http://samplesite2.optimized-marketing.com/)
   the Phone number and hours in the header as well as the word “Massachusetts” 
   at the bottom of the page and it the footer are all shortcodes and all have <
   p> tags around them in the source code. The code I am entering into the shortcode
   HTML section is just text (No Html markup or anything special) with the ShortCode
   Type: Simple Snippet.
 * I am using Genesis Themes with the Venture Child Theme on this site. It also 
   is happening on a different Child Theme.
    WP version 3.4.2
 * I don’t see the <script> portion any more. So we can ignore that for now.
