Repeating word on line wrap

[Dan Robinson]

Anybody else seeing this? On some posts, a word will duplicate itself before and after the point it wraps to a new line. It makes it look like the person typed the word twice.

The repeated word is not in the page's HTML source code, and when you edit the post, it's not there in the editable text area.

Not a critical problem and maybe not even worthy of the time to fix - I see it in one out of every 20-30 posts. I see it more in IE than in Firefox.

Here are two screen grabs:

screen cap 1

screen cap 2

Yep, I've noticed it often. Not a major issue, as you note, just an annoyance.

Is there an example of a thread where this is occurring? I haven't seen this problem. I'm using Chrome.

I use Firefox and have never noticed this, but I'll add it to the ongoing thread over in the administration sub-forum that includes a list of all these bugs that have arisen since the upgrade to Vb 4.0.7 in January.

The latest one is happening on Tim Supinie's post in this thread:

The first screen cap I posted above shows what it looks like on my end.

This one shows up in IE but not Firefox on my computer. The second word disappears when the window is resized. Very strange, possibly a CSS formatting bug in IE? That is, it may be a browser/CSS standards issue rather than one with the board.

Must be selective...no issues here. On FF 3.5

 

[Paul Townsend]

I'm on IE and see it often; more frequently than every 20 to 30 posts.

Just brought up the line in Firefox 4.0 and IE 9 and no issues. Seems to be an IE issue.
