Found a post that completely broke SO formatting

Consider the following question; more specifically, its first revision. The post in question dates from March 2012.

The OP formatted his code by explicitly writing <code> markup. Somehow, the way he used it in combination with lists and code markup (4 spaces), it completely broke the rest of the post formatting:

  • The tags are not written with the correct font and are not correctly aligned.
  • The blue-background panel showing the username is also not using the correct font and has huge vertical space.
  • There are white spaces (that can be selected) below tags.

Note that it broke only this post and the answer was correctly formatted. I have since edited the post to have a proper formatting.

The problem is probably due to lack of <pre> when formatting multiple lines of code but I wouldn't have guessed that something like this could be done.

Can something be done to fix the resulting layout in a case like this?
