Attaching code

I don't see the "Attach Code" option when posting to Programming, but I see it when posting to Off Topic. Is there anything I need to change in my settings, or is this a forum bug?
 
Attaching code is horribly broken! Looks like it converts newlines into spaces so everything goes on one line and wraps around. Completely unreadable.

Plus, after I have attached code and go back to edit, the attached code gets chopped (maybe this due to some special characters in the code {}). So if I edit a post for a spelling mistake and re-submit, the attached code is chopped.

Please fix. A programming forum needs to have a functioning "Attach Code" button.

Same issue here... it should include all spacing and carriage returns IMO ! 🙂

A good example of this problem.

How it should look in the attach code screen.
 
Does having another complaining voice help fix the problem faster? There is no way I can read this guy's code as things stand.

Please fix? 🙁

Edit: He re-entered his code as regular text; but the problem still exists.
