Confirmed Emotes are line-breaking

[Mbx]

Affected version

2.3.7

"If you start typing an emoticon (eg :zar to bring up :zaru) then hit <enter> to auto-complete, it inserts a carriage return before the emoticon."

This seems to be the case with the 2.3.7 Update. A bug ?

Another thing.

"When I try to tag someone, @Rob, and click on the name, it deletes a couple of words written before that. It does not always happen, so I don't know how to replicate this."

Are you using Firefox? This has been a known issue with Froala (Xenforo's editor) and Firefox for a while (i.e. pre-2.3.7). I am now a Firefox user and learning to live with it but, yeah, hope the move to TipTap fixes it. Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, and many other browsers nowadays) are unaffected, or at least were prior to 2.3.7. I haven't tried in a Chromium browser since the upgrade.

I am got it from the user base and this is happening since 2.3.7 I think.

Yeah, it happens with me now with 2.3.7 & Chrome on Windows.

This problem started happening for us after we updated to 2.3.

Hopefully there will be a fix developed.

This is a javascript bug which affects emojis but not smilies (basically an javascript error is causing the 'enter' key to add a newline instead of finishing the autocomplete). A part of this bug is it isn't tracking recent emoji usage properly

Resource update in 'Advanced Bb Codes Pack'

Oct 7, 2025

Fix custom header bb-code enable state wasn't pushed to the front-end as expected Workaround XF2.3 copy & paste support of tables with right/centre aligned columns, ref Workaround XF2.3 emoji autocomplete inserting a new line unexpectedly, ref Fix XF bug where recent unicode emoji usage wasn't...

• Xon
• Add-ons [2.x]

• 

The latest update of my (paid) Advanced Bb Codes Pack add-on contains a bugfix for this (for all affected XF2.3 versions). This also fix that recent emojis added by the emoji autocomplete where not tracked by either XF2.2 or XF2.3.

I've offered the bugfix I've used to XF so hopefully it will be fixed in XF2.3.8

Add this to the PAGE_CONTAINER template at the bottom (before the </body> tag if it's there)

Need to put this in a script tag

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    XF.on(document, 'editor:init', function(e) {
        var ed = e.ed;
        var xfEd = e.editor;


        if (!xfEd.emojiCompleter) return;


        var originalInsert = xfEd.emojiCompleter.insertResult.bind(xfEd.emojiCompleter);


        xfEd.emojiCompleter.insertResult = function(result) {
            originalInsert(result);


            ed.$el[0].querySelectorAll('p > div.js-createdContainer').forEach(function(div) {
                while (div.firstChild) {
                    div.parentNode.insertBefore(div.firstChild, div);
                }
                div.parentNode.removeChild(div);
            });


            XF.EditorHelpers.normalizeAfterInsert(ed);
        };
    });
});
