Comment (by venzodeee23):

 Replying to [ticket:40958 programmin]:
 > If you have a shortcode for Ninjaforms and use the post in a context
 that runs force_balance_tags() it seriously breaks the script. For example
 if you have a form id=14, add this :
 > {{{#!php
 > <?php
 >
 > echo 'NO BALANCE:--'. apply_filters('the_content', '[ninja_form id=14]'
 ) .' --END NO BALANCE. ';
 > echo 'BALANCED:--'. force_balance_tags(apply_filters('the_content',
 '[ninja_form id=14]' )) .' --END BALANCED. ';
 > }}}
 > Notice that some ending /spans, /is, and or /as are added before the end
 script, breaking it. Seems to not be wp version dependent.

 I would love to hear more on this!
