Question

"Quote" handling for IE10 getting irritating!

Hi guys,

This week I'm immersing myself in a Windows 8 Consumer Preview, IE10 equipped virtual machine, and trying to use everything there without using my host Windows 7 system at all.  I'm evaluating Photoshop CS6 as well in that system, and so far everything is going very well.  I'm actually able to use Windows 8, with a bunch of tweaks to make it into a serious OS.

But one niggling little irritation remains, and I know of no workaround: 

Using this forum with Internet Explorer 10 and trying to put quotes around things results in this:

"XXXXXX"

When I type the text XXXXXX above, I simply typed double quote characters in front and back.  This is what it looked like in the editor:

Please ask the Jive developers to fix this. 

Virtually all other sites handle double quotes properly with IE10, and as you can see even this Jive software gets it right in the thread subject.

Thanks!

-Noel

    Testing IE11 on Windows 8.1 Preview...

    "there are quotes around this"

    Sigh.

    And we see this on the forum:

    "Quoted"

    Same story with IE10 for Windows 7...

    "Quoted"

    Sorry for all the posts.  Just...

    "testing"

    -Noel


    Wow, that fixed it.  So I have IE10 working properly on two different Windows 7 systems.

    "yay!"

    I have a custom hosts file that blocks the resolution of names of tons of bad sites; I had not put it on this system until just now.  I copied that into place on my VM.

    Only other thing I can imagine is that maybe by having IE10 closed in the interim, whatever processes were hanging around had a chance to exit, and the settings reset I did 5 minutes ago finally took.

    Guess I'll try these same things, perhaps a bit more methodically, on my Windows 8 VM.  Maybe they've rolled out a fix for it there too.

    Well, Windows 8 has been released and here I am running the Release Preview of Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7, promised to be delivered to the whole world of Windows 7 users via Windows Update very soon now (within weeks)...

    Guess what "special" character still doesn't work right?

    Granted it's a little thing, but...  It's a little thing tens of millions of people are going to see.

    November 23 and it's still not fixed.  IE10 is shipping with Windows 8, and is about to be released for Windows 7.

    Adobe:  How can you run a web site in such a shoddy fashion?

    Don't you feel contributions by progressive-thinking members are valuable?

    Doesn't anyone there care that it doesn't work right?

    This is a perfectly reproducible and obvious problem that was reported 8 months ago.  What is it that you're doing with your time if not fixing such easy bugs?

    Think about it.

    I mean they have an issue on Macs with URL not work from Office Documents for 15 years.

    And it has been proven time after time its with Adobe, Not MS, Not Apple.

    And you think they are going to fix this problem? If so you smoking something illegal.

    " Still broken. "

    I believe the number of people running Windows 8 now is in the tens of millions.  Internet Explorer 10 is going to be released for Windows 7 soon as well.

    "3+ Months Have Passed"

    Nobody at Adobe even running Windows 8 in a VM?

    For most people who regularly look at HTML code, "XXXXXX" and "XXXXXX" looks identical

    Hi Noel

    Curiosity question here. Why would it matter if the HTML entities were used as long as things display correctly?

    As a side note, I'm not sure Adobe holds any sway over Jive. It's like us "telling Adobe" they need to fix something in Photoshop. It might happen and it might not. Most likely might not unless it was already on their scope of things to be fixed. Then it would be a total fluke that we requested and saw what appeared to be a quick fix.

    Just wondering... Rick

    You're missing the point - things are clearly NOT being displayed correctly.  You can see that clearly from the large text I posted above.

    Never underestimate the power of asking for legitimate improvements.  At least doing so might push a fix higher on the list, and at best it's possible no one has yet noticed.  Most people nowadays are either so busy or so inundated with glitz that subtle things often get missed.  Sometimes even not so subtle things
