            I don't know if it's coincidence, but for myself, I've found that changing the theme for the code macro to Eclipse seems to work pretty consistently. All the other ones aren't reliable. RDark also seems to work but it's too dark for me.

            Update: It was coincidental that the settings above worked; it wasn't consistently working. However, I did find that, at least for me, the problem was a conflict with another plugin called Team Files. After uninstalling that plugin, all was fine again (code macro could collapse and expand without problems).

            We also have the problem, that the code block cannot be expanded after a while. The Link appears, but nothing happens when we click on it. (Right after inserting the macro it works, but if there are more changes on the page
            We use
            Confluence 6.6.16
            Code Macro Plugin 2.2.12

            NOTE : The macro (sort of) works in 6.13.4 (Enterprise version) but if you put the code block macro with expansion enabled INSIDE a regular expand macro then when you expand the code block it'll collapse the outer expand block so it "disappears" if you follow my meaning.

            Like :

            ExpandMacro : {
                   CodeBlock :

            {        }

            }

            We use Code block extensively in our documentation, sometimes with many in one page. Our standard is for any code longer than 10 lines the user MUST collapse the code block otherwise the page gets to be too long for the customer reading it.

            This is a major issue for us.
