GostHacked Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Strange issue with this reply box with me over the past few days. The text goes off to the right when I type, and the scroll bar appears at the bottom. Anyone else seeing this? I am on FF with adblock on a win 7 PC..... all other sites work fine for me.

Guest Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I am. Same software. Only now when I tried it after reading your post. Earlier this morning it was working fine. Hang on. I just tried it here and it wrapped. Then again and it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Please provide a screen shot if you can. I am on Firefox too but on a linux box. Things look fine to me. My Firefox was okay, but it's failing to word wrap tonight until I post. It's kinda annoying. Screen shot? How do you provide a screen shot? You can't upload anything to this place can you? Edited to add that it seems to be an extremely intermittent thing. My post here word wrapped properly, as did the next post I made after posting here. No idea what was different about the first post... Edited again to add that the lack of word wrap is occurring again.

Charles Anthony Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I see it happenning to me once in a while too.

If I click on the little box on the upper left side to hide the codes then word wrap works, but not otherwise.

Charles Anthony Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I am unsure of what you want to do. I will take a guess but if I am wrong, please be more specific and provide a link to an example of what you want to achieve, if possible.Here is my guess. You want to do something like this: Okay. The problem is that I can't separate out different quotes I want to reply to in the full editor. snarky comment Okay.

Charles Anthony Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 The 'manual' breaking up of long quotes doesn't function very well in my experience. I understand how the lack of word-wrapping can make that more difficult. I suggest you break up the quote in the Full Editor window and then click back to the good old-fashioned editor to copy-paste the opening and closing quotes just like we had to do before. I suggest that everybody changes their Options (top-right button; looks like a cloud with a red rocket) in the Full Editor window to select Paste as plain text by default and Clear my saved content. As far as the Multi-Quote feature is concerned, click on the Multi-Quote button associated with each post to which you want to reply.

GostHacked Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 What about not having to jump through all these hoops just to make a post? Something is broken in the formatting of the reply box. If I turn the switch off in the top right corner (which allows me better break up of quotes) it does not word wrap and goes off the screen to the right -------------------->>>>>>> With the switch on, there seems to be no issue with word wrap, but then the quoting is an absolute mess. IN both cases it makes it more difficult to properly post and make proper replies.
