Correct. This is an artifact of the way drupal+imagemagic handles animated previews with transparency. Currently, the only solution is to add a solid opaque background to the preview gifs. (no need to add this on the actual asset, just the preview files.)
That is caused by certain special characters. Specifically, fancy versions of regular punctuation. Some word processors and devices (especially iOS) like to change your normal keyboard version of hyphen, quote, or apostrophe to em dash, curved quotes, or angled apostrophe, respectively. This is why the problem only occurs when you copy text from some other rich text source, since typing it directly can't possibly result in characters that aren't on your keyboard... Unless you're typing on an iOS tablet or something; apple really likes to change stuff as you type. For some reason the site treats the non-keyboard characters as code format characters or control tokens.
In this particular case, the problem is the angled apostrophe in the conjunction I'min your fourth paragraph. At least based on the github text, that is.
Ok, I think I was able to track down the issue. My confusion was due to the fact it wasn't even letting you view the submission form to take the screen shot.
It is definitely a browser cache issue. Try the following steps when you have the time.
Clear browser history. Especially the cookies and cached data for opengameart.org.
Close browser. Do not try to log in again or submit art before closing the browser completely.
Reopen browser. Go to opengameart.org. DO NOT CLICK "SUBMIT ART" YET.
Log in. Click "home" and make sure it still shows you are logged in.
Click "submit art". It should show a form with various fields.
Let me know how it goes and what step things go wrong on, if any.
That is the page just before the "must be logged in" message? how were you submitting art from your profile page?
The can't log out thing sounds like a cache issue. You may want to try clearing your browser cache, though trying a different browser that you've never logged into the site on before would be a better test.
I like the new additonal previews
, but where are they? I can only download the "rated fun" file and not the fish or moon.Yeah this bug sucks. If anyone finds a way to fix it, let me know.

Yay! :D
Happy to help. Let me know if you experience any other trouble.

Ok... Well, I'm happy to continue troubleshooting this. :)
You are answering questions that I haven't been asking.
Are you saying you can submit art successfully now?
That is the page just before the "must be logged in" message? how were you submitting art from your profile page?
