beatgiant's broken brainstorms

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 6 OF 6 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-09-21    beatgiant: this is ä test this is ä test Dec-12-21    beatgiant: This is a test Ö ö é è Ó ó Dec-12-21    moronovich: This is another test ;) odkl aa,aææa l, SLDLD Magnus Carlsen. Dec-12-21    beatgiant: <moronovich> Thanks. Two questions: (1) Your device has a key for the 'æ' character? (2) What did your preview look like? Did the 'æ' character appear, or <?> The question applies to both the preview box and the edit message box. Dec-12-21    moronovich: Hi <beatgiant> ! Thanks for asking.But I just did some random hitting here on the keyboard.Æ/æ is a special danish letter which consists of a+e making and æ-sound.Like in Abraham. Cheers. Dec-12-21    beatgiant: <moronovich> And the preview? Did that look correct to you? Dec-12-21    Tabanus: Æ e i a æ å. Dec-12-21    beatgiant: <Tabanus> Thanks. Can you report what the preview looked like? The two boxes, the preview box labeled "This is what your message will look like once posted" and the edit box labeled "You may edit your message below" Dec-12-21    Tabanus: The preview of my "Æ e i a æ å." ?? It looks fine to me. The "You may edit your message below" I can't find :) Dec-12-21    Tabanus: Oh I see. The preview if fine in both. Dec-12-21    Tabanus: ø æ å Ø Æ Å á ö, no problem. Dec-12-21    moronovich: Sorry,dont know what the preview means): Dec-12-21    Diademas: <moro> when you kibitz you get the option of <Prewiew Kibitz> and <Post Kibitz>. If you choose the first you will get exactly that, a preview of how your post will look like. Dec-13-21    moronovich: Thanks <Diademas> ! I understand,now ;) <beatgiant> it seems to work. Dec-13-21    keypusher: Hi, <beatgiant>, hope you're well. The weird punctuation happens when I post from my iPhone. When I post from my Mac I have no issues. Dec-13-21    beatgiant: <keypusher> That is very useful information. I have seen this type of content in some user game collections too, and this will save a lot of time while investigating it. I'll see what can be done about this. And yes, I'm well and hope you are too. Dec-13-21    diceman: <keypusher: Hi, <beatgiant>, hope you're well. The weird punctuation happens when I post from my iPhone. When I post from my Mac I have no issues.> I've seen this also, but not with a phone. With a Windows 10 computer. Dec-13-21    beatgiant: <diceman> Can you point to any example of such a kibitz? The timing is important, because we changed things within the last week. Dec-13-21    diceman: On rogoff, I was trying to type the word <healthcare> in a post. It looked something like this in the preview: <healt- hcare> with a dash and space inserted. I tried retyping it several times, and couldn't get it to work, so I just left it out. <healt- hcare> Not sure that was the exact spot, but it was a dash and space. It's the first time I've seen something look different in preview. If I come across it again, I will post to see if it posts that way. Dec-13-21    beatgiant: <diceman> Thanks. Here's an attempt to reproduce that behavior: asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf- asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfadsfasdfasdf- asdf What I see in the preview is a hyphen after the first 48 characters, a second line with a hyphen after 48 characters, and then a space and a final 'asdf' I doubt it's a new thing caused by the recent change in the kibitzing previews, but I will investigate and see if there is any easy fix for that. Dec-22-21    beatgiant: <keypusher>,<OhioChessFan> It looks like this iPhone issue might be affecting many kibitzers, so I'd like to get some more details. Can you (either of you) describe your keyboard layout settings? Are you able to customize it to different languages? Also, can you post here from your phone a test sentence with diacritical marks, as below? Hübner didn’t play …0—0 in a Réti and scored ½. He was not born in Mähren like Takács was. Dec-22-21    beatgiant: <keypusher>,<OhioChessFan> My first guess is your phones are using a proprietary Mac character encoding like MacRoman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_O.... I'd need some more sample posts to make sure. Also can you check which version of MacOS your phone is running? Dec-22-21    OhioChessFan: As conversant as I am with the computer, I am as slow witted with the cell phone. I'll try to figure out what you're asking for here. It's an Android by the way. Dec-23-21    beatgiant: <OhioChessFan> If it's an Android, your case is probably different than <keypusher>'s. Forget about the questions. Can you please try posting the test sentence from your phone? As below: Hübner played …0—0 in a Réti and scored ½. He wasn’t born in Mähren like Takács was. Dec-23-21    beatgiant: <OhioChessFan> Actually I have an android phone too and I'll test it myself in the near future. I've always known we haven't yet done enough testing on the mobile version of the site.
