 * Hello,
 * I have a small contact form with a peculiar problem- the submit button HTML is
   not rendered unless I precede it with button element.
 * This example renders code and displays the submit-
 *     ```
       <label class="required">Fields with an * are required.</label>
   
       <label>Name*</label> [text* p_name]
   
       <label>Company Name*</label> [text* c_name]
   
       <label>Phone Number*</label> [text* p_number] 
   
       <label>Email*</label> [email* email]
   
       <label>Subject*</label> [text* subject]
   
       <label>Message:</label> [textarea message]
   
       <label>Help us fight SPAM!</label> [quiz quiz-179 8/2 "7-3=|4"]
   
       <label></label><button type="button" style="display:none">Submit</button>[submit "Submit"]
       ```
   
 * However if I remove the hidden button element the HTML for the submit is not 
   rendered. This is not a display issue, not CSS. The HTML for the submit button
   is not present.
 * Also tried adding a test text field after the button code with same issue- no
   submit.
 * Has anyone encountered this?

 * Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all other plugins.
