Logs not wrapping?

[+9Key]

Check out the last few logs on my cache here. They scroll several screens wide.

 

I'm on XP and have looked at the page in both FireFox 3.5 and IE 7 - same scrolling.

 

Any ideas?

[+Bear and Ragged]

Well, that's it.

You've well and truly broken the site...

I can't explain why its happening, but I can confirm that I'm not seeing the logs wrapping either when using Firefox 3.6.8.

I haven't yet seen the log wrap problem... but... I have noticed recently that when I use 'through profile' email to a user, that sometimes when it comes back as a quoted portion of the message, the wrap is definitely lacking... Not in the copy I receive, not in the actual reply text... just the quoted part and not all the time. What I see during creation and in my copy is fine... I hope the recipient sees it fine... haven't had any comments on that in the replies. Only seems to happen during the profile message send. Other email and forum notes seem fine.

 

Last time I saw something like this it was simply a conflict over just what was an end of line marker... and the size of a line. But that was a long time ago...

A new perk for PM's... extra long log lines!

I can't get to them to see them sadly... some day.

When viewed on their own page, they wrap until you get to

 

chachatiff found [Multi-cache] 4000 / 750

 

Wow... I don't even know where to start... Like Casting Crowns mentioned in his log, we got a VERY early start yesterday

 

that one doesn't wrap even when viewed on it's own page

 

I see nothing in that log that would seem to be the culprit. I even copied it and put it on an unpublished cache of mine, where it wraps okay.

Same problem noted on some of the logs for the ET Trail ie ET 001

When I edited the log Isonzo linked there were no line breaks to be seen. I copied the text and pasted in notepad: still no line breaks. I tried in Firefox and Chrome with the same results. Very curious. I'm certain that log is to blame (along with one on this cache but I won't waste time finding which one).

 

I will write it up, but since we will probably move to the new WYSIWYG editor currently on the trackables pages soon I don't think we'll worry about fixing the bug.

Even the log notification emails I got for those logs didn't wrap in my web-based mail or in Outlook.

Weirdness!

I just looked at the source and the issue is in chachatiff's logs. Instead of using space characters between words, he used & nbsp (non-breaking spaces). Seems like something intentional.

he used & nbsp

 

mm, I don't see that - within the log panels, I see a single   at the beginning of 9Key's log, remarking the "no wrap". - ie, by the time that was on the page, the "no wrap" was already happening.

 

I turned Greasemonkey off. Firefox 3.57 on Windows 2000

Well, to be more specific, yesterday I used Firebug to view the source. It clearly shows "nbsp" between all the words in chachatiff's logs.

 

Just now I looked at the source in UltraEdit, which is like Notepad on steroids. At first glace, it looks like normal spaces in chachatiff's logs, but when I turn on the HEX viewer feature of UltraEdit, it shows the spaces are ASCII xAO instead of the normal x20.

[+Isonzo Karst]

might this be a function of the logs being written in some text editor? picking up some formatting there and then, the user copies and pastes it?

 

I would suspect that particularly here, because the log owner anticipated going over the character limit, so composed the log in something where they could keep count. Just guessing.

I thought that too, but after pasting to Notepad I was under the impression that those formatting eccentricities were stripped out. That didn't happen in this case.

Noticed this a while ago. I thought I mentioned it in one of the release notes threads but can't remember.

0xa0 is a non breaking space according to this Wikipedia article.

Looks like it snuck because it's a valid character and not an html escape sequence.
