 * Hi All,
 * my site has suffered from this issue for 1 month. Lots of my site user had issue
   to read code properly.
 * I never got any help from wordpress support and also never got any support from
   plugin author [Viper007Bond](http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/syntaxhighlighter/).
 * Finally i shifted from “syntaxhighlighter” to “WP Syntex”.
 * It was hard since I had to modify all my 100 articles as per WP Syntex format.
 * However end result was good since WP Syntex works great as well as my site loading
   speed increased by 5 seconds.
