XF 1.5 Thread Problems - Help Please

[Xyphien]

https://rpgmakermv.co/threads/thread-problems.3278 it states here that when editing any post with bbcode in it, especially spoilers it messes everything up. The post I linked, the community explains it better than I can.

Can you duplicate it here?

If so, what are the exact steps?

 

[Mike]

We would need a clear test case (of what BB code needs to be in the post to reproduce it).

That said, please ensure you're running 1.5.7 as there is a potentially related bug fix.

Here is exactly what a user on my website stated on how to recreate this problem:




To replicate such problems with spoilers. Create a thread of some sort that includes a list of things. I.E.

"The Art of Sandwich making"
Only the finest chef's in the Krusty Krab can make the best sandwiches by performing these steps:

Spoiler: How to make a kirby perty

• Apply my buns

• apply cheese please

• apply burger

• apply lettuce

Then proceed to be evil about it.

Spoiler: How to steal said kirby putty like a villian

• stealz buns

• stealz patty

• stealz from the krusty cube

Then proceed to post the thread, go back and edit that thread and adjust by adding some more text or removing a word and resave your newly changed thread. You may notice your newly posted thread will contain a duplicate. "How to make a kirby perty" and the spoiler will not only duplicate itself but find a way to cut part of the first spoiler's content in a portion to itself.

That said, please ensure you're running 1.5.7 as there is a potentially related bug fix.

Also, how do I go about seeing what version I'm currently using?

Alright, I updated to the latest version 1.5.7 and the problem is still there. https://rpgmakermv.co/threads/thread-problems.3278/#post-27625 all information is on there as well.

I can't reproduce it with the example given or I'm not understanding the exact steps I need to take to reproduce it.

The ideal approach would be to give the necessary BB code that can trigger the problem when it's edited, as shown here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/rich-editor-improper-handling-of-formatting-edge-case.114421/ This will give a consistent reproduction case. It can be generated by getting the post in the position needed and then switching away from the rich text editor to get the raw BB code.

one of the members said this:

The problem seems to be when you are in the editting portion. Possibly mistakes between the rich text editor and the BBCode editor conversion code.
Well i just tested it and it'll appear as simple as "Edit -> More Options -> Preview" so it seems to happen along those lines as well. Didn't even have to switch editors.

if that helps with anything.

Unfortunately that doesn't really help. I'm trying to get the BB code in the state that triggers the bug. The bug will be related to the rich text editor parsing in some way (there are a few parts). By getting the BB code in the state before it happens (but when it would happen if edited), I will be able to reproduce it. I haven't been able to reproduce it with th example post.

Alternatively, if there's a post where it is happening, you may be able to use the edit history tool to get the original version of the post (before editing) with the raw BB code. That could help me reproduce it.
