Forum peculiarities

[mir]

Hi Martin,I have just discovered a weird thing with the forum and the Chromium browser. When accessing the forum through http the editor don't work - the page loads forever when trying to display the editor. If I however use https the editor works as expected. Newlines are still not working though, every newline is filtered by the editor which as a result means that the entered text will be presented to others as one long line!Is this a known bug?PS. this is only true for the Chromium browser any other browser works as expected.

I work with http on win7, most time with google chrome. no problem here.

what OS/browser do you use?

Hi Tom,

I wrote Chromium, not Chrome. http://www.chromium.org/Home
Chromium is the OSS version of Chrome.

 

[tom]

Yes, and I asked what OS do you use so I can try it here.

Debian (sid)

Debian (sid)

I am testing with Debian Testing (Jessie) Chromium 33 and yes, its also not working. But with Ubuntu 14.04 and the Chromium 34 from there, no issues.For a workaround, use iceweasel on your sid box and test again as soon as the debian maintainer uploaded a more recent version. I do not see any way to improve this here.

I use Chromium 34 on Sid:
dpkg -s chromium
Package: chromium
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: web
Installed-Size: 132774
Maintainer: Debian Chromium Maintainers <pkg-chromium-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Source: chromium-browser
Version: 34.0.1847.116-2

What is different on Ubuntu 14.04 Chromium 34 compared to Debian Sid Chromium 34?

No idea. And I doubt that the forum software vendor want to debug this on Debian Sid.

A test from chromium lubuntu-1404.
Also check for newline.

It seems to work!

Tried from another clean Debian Sid installation. Doesn't work.

One thing though, the chromium package, even though exactly the same version, is 4 MB bigger on Ubuntu compared to the package on Debian. Apparently either Ubuntu has added something or Debian has removed something!!!
