Editing old item (FAQ thread) fails to include original text

mrerick · 03-01-2019, 10:49 AM

When I edited the FAQ thread item that announces changes to the newly posted FAQ PDF files, the editor lost all of the old content, and just presented a blank screen. This failed with both the basic and advanced editor.

I had to manually copy the old text to the clipboard, and manually paste it back into the editor in order to proceed.

The formatting of CR/LF spacing also changed after the item was saved and displayed. An extra one gets inserted between paragraphs.

Immediately re-editing this entry worked properly except for the extra CR/LF lines. During edit, there is only one extra line between paragraphs, and this expands to two after saving.

This appears to be new behavior after the forum upgrade.

Funny. Just tried to edit an older post and all comes up just fine. Text plus 2 photos in both quick and advanced edit.
