WP_Editor Shortcode Issue

I have created a front-end editor using wp_editor that functions as it should.

Upon testing I have noticed that it is stripping out any shortcodes that have been inserted in the content. I have looked into this issue and found that it’s the ‘ob_’ (output buffering) that is removing them. If I remove this output buffering then the shortcodes display fine, but it breaks the functionality I have created for the editor.

How would I keep the code I am using below, but amend it to make sure that all shortcodes are being displayed? Any help/ideas greatly appreciated, S.

function ps_add_post_editor($content) {

    'wpautop' => true,

);
    $content .= '<div id="content-edit-area" style="display:none;"><form action="" id="page-content-editor-panel" method="post"><span id="ajax_my_post_edit_nonce" class="hidden">' . wp_create_nonce( 'ajax_my_post_edit_nonce' ) .
