The following happens when trying to update my article in the online editor:
1. I am using an up-to-date version of Chrome
2. I open the Article I wish to edit (In this case my MineCraft Server Management program)
3. I place the text cursor in front of a bullet point (numbered bullet point)
4. I press and hold the Ctrl key then press the left arrow key
Result: Chrome shows its "Aww Snap" page - the entire page is broken by this one simple (unintentional) command (I had meant to press and hold ctrl + shift). Anyway, since this causes such a mjor break in the page I thought I'd submit a bug report so here it is.
Hope this gives enough info - it's not a very insightful result but a pretty major one...

I wish - I really wish - that I could claim responsibility for killing Chrome.
Unfortunately I think this is something that I will, again, have to cede to Google's coders.
(And I'm not just saying that because my Galaxy Tab is the most flaky tablet I've ever used in my life.  )
[Edit: what's really cool is that if you have a bunch of other tabs open every single one of them breaks too. I thought the whole thing with Chrome's tabs was that they were separate processes and hence Immune From Destruction. Or something.]

Take a look at the messages on my tip, Call a C# Method From JavaScript Hosted in a WebBrowser. Most of these were converted to messages from the older comment system. There seems to be a lack of hierarchy in most of them (e.g., replies are thread starters rather than reply messages). Also, the commenting system was in reverse order (newer messages were toward the bottom), and that made them more like conversations that could be read through chronologically in a natural manner. That sense of chronology is lost in the new format.
My suggestion to fix these issues is this. Put all of the messages that were converted from comments into a single thread. Perhaps give the thread starter message the title "Classic Comments" (or something like that) and a body explaining the old comment system and why some of the messages may appear jumbled. This would make people aware of why the messages have issues and it would put them in the previous order (newer lower).

We were going to do that but there were many comment threads that were on totally different topics and so deserved to be in separate threads. Remember that we only added hierarchy after many posts had already been posted.
In your specific case it looks like the comments were transferred over incorrectly. We'll get that sorted out. (sorted? Geddit?)

Sounds very sordid. I hope none of the messages get sworded. What field are you going to use to sort, id?
Sorry for that. That didn't make your brain sore, did it? I'd prefer to have soared it.

That's all sorta wrong.

This article[^] is an update to an existing one. However, following the link to the original shows it to have been published on 31 Dec 1899.

No, it was actually Time travelling aliens. But we've fixed the problem.

What an incredibly depressing outlook. I'm guessing what the context was, but I really like to think of programming as enjoyable, creative art (which can be very hard, but rewarding) work, and not merely "work" as in "a thing I do 9-5 that's hard and for which I get a paycheque to pay the bills".
Maybe it's just because it's Spring outside...

The comment was quite apposite in the response where it was first posted.

I created the following article ( http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=12302&aid=382389[^] )
via the Wizard but it seems to be stuck in the composing state, even though I've hit the publish button.
Also, the main problem is that the article does not show up anywhere in my profile -- neither under My Articles nor Submitted Articles.
Is there a problem or is it awaiting authorization from someone? Thanks for any help.

Before pressing the Publish button did you check the "I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement"?
|
|
|
|

That's a good question. I did click the "I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement".
Additional notes: Originally I posted this article for publishing on 05/10 and I failed to save the link so I had no way to get to the article until -- fortunately -- someone else --somehow-- saw the pre-published article and posted a comment on it. When they did that it provided me a link to the article in my email.
However, I still have no other way to get to the article -- it's missing from my profile.
Thanks again for comment.

Since I can get to the article via that link I tried clicking the Update link, then I made sure that the option
Work in progress: don't publish
Uncheck to publish
is unchecked.
I also insured that the licensing option (I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement) was checked.
Then I did a preview and noticed that the download links seem to fail with the error :
No download file was specified.
But, then I went ahead and clicked the Publish button again.
That puts it back in "Composing" mode.
However, at that point the download links do work.
Thanks for any help.

There's a checkbox highlighted in yellow that says
Work in progress: don't publish
Uncheck to publish
If you uncheck this it allows it to be published, meaning it goes into the moderation queue (as pending) and from there, when approved, will be published.
I've fixed this (and created local copies of your images) and it's now in Pending status (with only one more vote needed to get it published)

Just to make sure you know how this all went down, I figured I'd let you know that on thursday May 10, just a few minutes before midnight I actually did uncheck the
Work in Progress checkbox and I also clicked the checkbox next to the licensing question and then I hit the Publish button. When I did that, the article said it published and I forget what I did after that, because it was late and I closed my browser (FireFox 12).
Then I thought, hey, let me check and see if I can see my articles, but I could not see it. I thought I had lost the article.
(I had also had some difficulty with uploading my files -- the uploader on the right side had simply failed every time I tried.)
Then, the next day, someone had somehow seen my article and mentioned that the downloads were missing. But that email had a link in it which took me back to my article and I was relieved it was still there.
Here's the link I had : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/SubmissionWizard.aspx?aid=382389[^]
Originally that got me to the odd version of the article with the comment from http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=author%3a%22Jani+Giannoudis%22&doctypeid=1%3b2%3b3&authorid=826344[^]
I know this was way too long, but just wanted you to know the steps in case it'll help you resolve the issue for others.
Thanks

Not it isn't Having a detailed report like this is priceless. Thank you.
Elina found the root cause of the issue and has fixed it. I'll deploy the updates tonight so this shouldn't happen again.

I already published (Title may be little different, because it grabbed title from recovered auto saved section) above mentioned article and yet not received the what happened to it.
|
|
|
|

Based on the tips that you have submitted, it looks like you are talking about this one: List SQL Server table column name as rows[^]
This looks like already published and open for public view. Others can view it and rate it.
|
|
|
|
|
No this is not. This is approved. What i am referring is title called "Transform column values in to a row". Title can be little different coz, auto saved appeared today and half of article is gone.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it looks like Chris has to look for it. I don't see anything like that. For me, you have in total 4 tips till date (published or waiting to be published)
