As of some recent update (probably), the "New Topic" button changed from a
<button>
into a<label>
. Not a major thing, but it went from being semantically correct to wrong, and (much more importantly) I had to update my custom CSS to append the cost of creating a new topic

<a href="/compose?cid=4" component="category/post" id="new_topic" class="btn btn-primary" data-ajaxify="false" role="button">New Topic</a>
Which seems weird but lets you middle click to start your topic from a new tab. I approve.

@boomzilla
The one on the category page is a link, the one on/unread
or/recent
is a label.<label component="category/post" for="category-dropdown-check" class="btn btn-primary" id="new_topic"> New Topic </label>
Consistent!

@loopback0 huh.

Partial upvotes.

Since the new update, I've been seeing some herky-jerky scrolling every once in a while. I haven't figured out any triggering condition other than using the forum for a while (at one point I thought it might have been caused by an embedded onebox of some sort but refreshing cleared it up and scrolling past the object didn't re-trigger it).
-
@hungrier It keeps randomly happening, but I've found that hitting PgUp fixes it for some reason

I love the composer window.

Nya nya nanana!
At least my cursor matches the apparent actual cursor location.

I don’t know how they got that wrong, but it annoys me the most.

I thought I understood jellypotato, but just now I was reading a post in another topic, not scrolling, loading images, or anything, when suddenly it jumped up by 150 posts

Well, there's your first problem: thinking it can be understood.
-
@loopback0 The emoji search thing moves with the background rather than being anchored (for lack of the proper word) to the composer.
-
Which reminds me of something I've long been wondering about: why it has two different favicons:
No doubt there's a reason, and it may even be a side channel, but like I said I was wondering.

-
@JBert Is it really a surprise if it's the same as last year?

@ben_lubar said in Bug Bites:
what makes you think this is a bug
It has a Discourse logo, that's the first sign of bugs.

The is suffering from Covid-19

Well, that would be that, but really I was still wondering about the tab icons.

I was still wondering about the tab icons.
I've seen that occasionally for years. I've never noticed a consistent pattern to the behavior.

There was a time (probably at least a year ago) ...
when the emojis were sorted at least somewhat sensibly. Or maybe I'm just imagining that they ever were?If I'm searching for a simple frowning face, of the usual round emoticon variety, why are these randomly mixed together with all the garbage? (The answer seems to be alphabetical sort order)
-

I magiced away the post time wait limit somehow and this happened too.

WTF Markdumb-BB?!

@topspin At least it prints the actual number inputted. Previously it would transform that into a list starting with 1

So that’s one out of three? Good jorb!
-
@topspin No, it's seeing you're starting a list, and that your list is starting with 6. The other two numbers must just be a copypasta error, so they're corrected so it's an uninterrupted list starting at 6.
If you want a list with specific numbers, break them up into separate paragraphs; in HTML, they'll be separate lists, but numbered correctly. If you don't want an HTML list, put a forward slash before the decimal point.
This is known, anticipated, intentional behavior. Markdumb is what it is.

@TwelveBaud said in Bug Bites:

Yup, copypasta error, otherwise known as a correct quote. Makes you wonder who thought “people sometimes copy something and the original source is wrong.”
Blakey sure had a point about Markdumb.
-
@topspin It's more that the blockquote context is not special. The idea is that you're typing your own brand new list by hand and either via copy-pasting from some other source or needing to add a new entry midway up the list after you've already added a bunch, you want to have a list with consecutive numbers in the final output despite not having consecutive numbers in the input (because ).
For making lists special in the quote context, you can file a bug re... oh. Discourse. Nevermind then.

Which is stupid. Whether in a quote or not. If I type in a list that goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 maybe I meant that. And if it's in a quote I almost definitely did because I'm trying to respond to selected numbered items out of a list, so they will be out of order.
WTFs can happen in design as well as coding, and this is just that.

for="category-dropdown-check"
And as an added WTF,
#category-dropdown-check
appears to not exist.

That would be literally impossible if you turn on pagination with a page size of 5 posts. You can't jump by any more than 5 posts!

Somebody else can link the Markdown spec but this is most definitely NOTABUG.

I know, but can we fix it anyway?

IIRC the Markdown spec would have
6. Item 12. Item 23. Item
show as
- Item
- Item
- Item
Either No-Germans-Baby follows another spec or it's wrong.
-
@loopback0 If I'm not mistaken it's CommonMark, specifically.
CommonMark Spec said:
The start number of an ordered list is determined by the list number of its initial list item. The numbers of subsequent list items are disregarded.

I thought markdown was defined by a reference implementation?
-
@PleegWat Well, Jeff (and others) tried to standardize it, but the original author put his foot down and indeed wanted it to be just a reference implementation. He wanted it to remain wild so he told the committee that they couldn't use the name "markdown".
The committee then invented "Commonmark", which has a spec, validation tools and a reference implementation as bonus.
-
@JBert Ah. Common sense strikes back kind of thing.

I thought we were talking about markdown.
Hence my surprise, but apparently we were actually talking about commonmark?

Let's play "spot the bug" (in the db?)

@topspin Spotted it. It's the font kerning.
