Partial fix Extra indents with bullets

[Mr Lucky]

Here is a list

• List Item
• List Item
• List Item

Now select the above and indent:

Here is a list​

• • • • • List Item
        • List Item
        • List Item

Extra bullet appears!

I'm not able to confirm this: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/list-and-indent-test.103801/

Windows 7, Firefox 40.0.2

Maybe just Safari then - I'll try some other browsers:

Chrome
​

• • • • • • List1
          • List2
          • List3

 

[Mr Lucky]

Firefox

• List1
• List2
• List3

Firefox seems fine, I'm getting it with Safari and Chrome (Mac OSX Yosemite)

Actually, my other Admin when writing guides manages to produce it in Chrome and I always have to go in and fix it, I just assumed he was useless but seeing this maybe not...

I've tried this several times on Chrome for both the Mac and Android and can't replicate this.

Maybe you could screen record the exact process (using something like licecap) so we can try following exactly what you are doing to see if we can replicate it?

List Indent Safari Bug

I can reproduce this.
The resulting BB code:

[INDENT][INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]
[LIST]
[*][LIST]
[*][LIST]
[*]Item 1
[*]Item 2
[*]Item 3
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
[/LIST][/code]

The HTML display is correct, but the BB code produced is all wrong. This isn't apparent until you submit the post.

• • • Item 1
    • Item 2
    • Item 3

It kind of is for me.

Sometimes, as you click on each indent the bullet changes from round to square, but yes, then all the extra horizontal ones appear after the post is posted.

 

[Chris D]

That's as designed, really, the bullet styles changing. The bullet styles change for each indent level (until we run out of bullet styles )

I can really only call this a partial fix. I have made an adjustment which handles the nested lists that Chrome generates and turns them into indents like Firefox. However, there are internal browser differences beyond that. Based on the HTML5 spec, what Chrome is generating is actually invalid. It's doing <ul><ul><ul>...<li>; the spec refers only to child <li> (or <script>/<template>) tags. As such, there are situations where the BB code generates slightly different HTML (which is actually valid based on the spec).
