Question

Extra line in quotations

Today I am getting this extra line at the beginning of quotations:

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

And I would say that messages from other people are also showing this, which had been corrected.

    The new problem I observed yesterday is that of the floating window I mentioned in my message #22 above. This is a very strange problem indeed: I am still getting it in Explorer, but also in Safari and in Firefox/Mac.


    One of the most peculiar features of this is that I get it in this thread, but not in the one where I have been doing my tests,

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/668958?tstart=0

    (sorry, I have spent more than an hour in these tests, and I don't have more time for this right now, so I haven't checked if it affects other threads). And in this thread, I only see the floating window when hovering over text on any of my own messages, and of messages 20 and 21 by DWILCOX10, but not in any other message -not even in message #2, also by DWILCOX10.


    I am not completely sure of this, but I would say that the problem doesn't "take" at once. More simply: I would say it's not there immediately upon opening this thread, but some undetermined time later.


    And sorry, but I've got to leave now. I wonder if anyone else sees this.

    Addition: I'll be hanged for spending more time on this, but I took a quick peep at the forums in Spanish, and I can confirm that I also get the floating window in my own messages there:

    I didn't know what the problem was until I saw your screen shot. I've been getting this periodical myself only it yellow like a tooltip say when you create a tool tip for a form field it shows up in all the browsers I test in on the acrobat when it shows up if I mouse over the code  in the forum post. and it shows up in Forum comments, Acrobat Mac, and Adobe Feedback.

    I finally found the time to do some testing. As I seem to be seeing two different problems (although they may be related to each other), I will report them separately.


    The extra line in quotations seems to be exclusively an Explorer issue. I posted with quoting from my Mac with Firefox, and didn't get it. I then checked the Compatibility mode in Explorer and found that it was not active, which I found peculiar because I haven't touched the Preferences in Explorer for many months. In any case, I activated it, and the problem disappeared.

    As this is the workaround JVD was talking about, I was going to apologize for having started a new thread on an already discussed subject, but some of the posts in this thread seem to show that there may be several persons around here who aren't/weren't aware of the problem and of its workaround. So maybe this wasn't so useless after all.

    Addition: getting an extra line in an already posted message just by moving from Safari to Explorer was something that only happened to me twice yesterday. I have been unable to get the same effect afterwards.

    This issue was discussed and a workaround was established in

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2471979#2471979 Since you participated

    in that thread I wonder why you are bringing this up again without

    providing any new relevant input. Is the workaround not working for you?

    Do you have any relevant observations to suggest that the conclusions

    we arrived at are incorrect? Is there any reason to bring this up again?

    Actually this is a  completely new problem.

    This may be related but not the same.

    This is an extra line (and he even showed the code the forum was throwing in when you quoted material). This is in "addition" to the existing problem.

    I wish you'd quit treating us like boring little bugs, and take our concerns seriously. You act like its a pain to even monitor this forum. If a new problem crops up, even if looks like a duck but actually is a goose instead, you as the head monitor's responsibility is to report it to proper channels. We can't help it if we don't know as much as you do. Not everyone has the same amount of intelligence.

    But this is what this Forum Comments is about, expressing concerns about the forum, so eventually something will be done about it.

    The workaround may be similar. But it is a different Problem.

    I had them this morning when posting from Explorer.. This time I'm using Safari.


    Not there.

    Addition: I have just tested again in Explorer (in the Tests forums), and didn't get it either. It was only this morning, after perhaps months without getting them.

    I have been getting these extra lines ever since I started posting in these forums.  However, they are not a regular occurences and I suspect it occurs when we selectively delete the quoted message.  I haven't tried what happens when the message is quoted in full.  I shall try soon.

    I have quoted both full and edited versions.  Have never seen those lines.
