Have they fixed this already?? When I go to my 'My Dropbox' public folder on my local PC, I'm seeing 'Copy Public Link' in the Dropbox context menu when I right click on a html file. Pasting that into a browser brings up the web page not the code. Same thing when I go to my account on the Dropbox website. I'm probably not understanding the problem.
