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,

(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?

I opened a new thread for three simple reasons:

1. I did not find the old thread the first time I tried using the hardly functional Search function of these forums, and I therefore decided to try to find it manually.

2. Unfortunately, the thread was too far back to search for it manually going back one page at a time, so I gave up after 3-4 pages.

3. I am too old to keep remembering all the many workarounds one is supossed to have at one's fingertips to be able to use these forums.

Plus the title of the thread, as I see now, does nor precisely indicate that the problem of the extra line appearing in quotations is covered in it.

If my opening of this new thread because I started getting the effect again all of a sudden and without any apparent cause perturbs you so much, you are free to delete it; you are the boss. Kindly note, however, that in the course of my tests, I had an experience I don't recall having seen posted, and which I couldn't replicate afterwards, as I reported.

You have added a quote to the message that started this thread.

Searching for that exact quote in this forum returned 9 (now 10)

results. I find it very reasonable to expect people to browse 9 threads

before starting a 10th and apply the knowledge from those threads to

their own situation.

And I especially expect that from people who themselves point out

duplicate threads from others and / or have participated in previous

discussions on the specific subject they are posting about. (If you

broaden the search and include the Testing forum you will find another

thread with messages from yourself where the issue was discussed and the

workaround mentioned.)

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.

Just in case, this is what I mean.

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.
