Subject: Random spaces when editing posts?

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

I've noticed that, sometimes, when i go back and edit a post random spaces have been placed in my text. This often happens when adding a URL to a post.

I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if anyone knows why it happens. Is it a browser thing or is it to do with the way the server processes the post?

I'm not sure why it happens (I think it's something to do with the widths of posts), but if your URL is too long, it will change upon editing. You just have to be extra-alert.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

It's really annoying, especially when editing a post with a lot of links.

Yea, it's such a small bug too... i'm surprised they haven't fixed it in the code yet...

I guess its probably only one line of code that causes the problem though, so it might be hard to find...

I'm beginning to think it's the rampant AI that bungie keeps locked in the basement acting up again... they really should feed that thing....

Edit: -for spelling- and.... I guess it's not actually a problem with anything that bungie has done but with the system that powers the forum (Ideal Science), although i guess it could be a conflict between the two.

It's caused because of the fact that the edit box does not automatically include a horizontal scroller. So when you go and edit your post, you'll notice that the url was broken into two parts so it could fit in the box without going offscreen. By deleting the space, it obviously adds the scroller because the string of characters continues past the edge. No word on fixing that, though.

I guess its probably only one line of code that cases the problem though, so it might be hard to find...

It's not just when you edit. It also happens when you qoute someone who has a link in their post...

Like I say, it's a small problem, but an annoying one.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Very annoying! I hate it!
