When I try to use a preformatted text block containing line-breaks within an ordered list, the text from the PRE block ends up outside of the formatted text area (gray block).

This works as expected:

1. Show some preformatted text:
   

   This is preformatted text!

This works as expected:

This is preformatted text!
Both lines show up in the box.

This does not:

1. show an empty text box and put the contents on the following line :
   

    This should be preformatted text!
   Neither of these lines will show up in the text box!

The line break terminates the <li> and <ol> which causes the <pre> to be nested incorrectly and be cut off (depending on if you use tidy, what actually happens may vary).

The work around, is instead of using # syntax for the list, explicitly use html style <ol><li><pre>text here</pre></li></ol>

Imo it's a bug. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36205
