Comment (by vshmal):

 I have confirm the issue. When you are on the classic editor (text tab)
 and add html content with less than "<" symbol and a short code and save
 it. In database it saves as  < symbol and not as "<" with the resulton
 the frontend the short code is not being interpreted.

 If you change tab from text to visual and back to text the tiny mce is
 changing the < symbol to "<". And if you save it with the changed value
 it works correctly.

 I haven't confirm where this problem exactly happens.

 I believe the short code interpreter breaks, if it finds an open html tag
 without closing.

 Will check it again later.
