Wl I don't know what to say. It *didn't* work for me (IE7 in Vista)

I think I discovered the problem. The auto-link feature doesn't work for Tip/Trick links. I found this out today when I was answering a Q/A item. I posted a link to an article (which correctly parsed the real article title), and then to a tip/trick (which did NOT parse the real tip/trick title).

Yep!
Able to replicate what you are saying... though on pasting editor made it a hyperlink but did not pull in the title of the Tip/Trick.

Still, your original issue reported also states - link not being converted to hyperlink, which still looks like a mystery.

I'll turn that bit on. Give me a few days - we have a large update coming through the works with the new article layout.
A little extra fibre should help things get moving.

I added a new tip/trick today, and there was no way to categorize it. It automatically put it under "Programming Tips, but it's a Silverlight tip.
here's the tip in question:

You probably just missed it. It's right beneath the tags labelled Section.

Nope - I looked twice (and even scrolled to page), published, and then tried to edit it - it simply wasn't there.
I just went back and looked, and it's still not there.

Ahh it's an IE-only bug. If you look very carefully to the far right of the Tags textbox there's a partial textbox visible. Clicking it will allow you to make the change.
In any case I've changed your tip to the Silverlight section. And we'll get that bug fixed.

Ahhh, ok. I use FF at home, but I posted that tip from here at work (where we slaves are forced into IE7 servitude).

I was going through Q&A forum. Came across this thread[^].
I noticed there was a downvote to JSOP reply but no comments. I toggled the hide/show comments too, but nothing! Is that possible in any scenario that though 1 vote but no comments? or comments deleted but not visible?
|
|
|
|
|
I think that is a vote of 4 and a vote of 5 giving an overall 4.5 is it not?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes right now i see it as what you say. But when i posted it, it was 1-Voted (single vote)
JSOP might confirm it as he might have received the email.

That was a month ago. I long ago deleted any auto-generated messages from that time period.

I just tried reproducing that locally and couldn't. Let us know if you see this happen again.

Sometime recently, what happens when you double-click a word to highlight it has changed. Previously only the word was highlighted; now the word plus the following space is highlighted. This becomes a problem when you want to underline a word: the word plus the following space are underlined, if you double-click and then hit the U button. (I am talking about forum posts here.)
Would it be possible to not underline the following space?

We can't control a what your mouse highlights when you double click, but we can do something like trim the selection of whitespace. However, last week we had a situation where Luc specifically want to highlight a word and it's preceding whitespace so being overly clever to help you would bring done the unyielding Wrath of Luc.

Obviously you can, because something changed, and now it works differently.

You're welcome to review the javascript yourself and try and find the new function that automatically, each time you make a selection, adjusts the selected text to include the traling space for no reason other than to annoy you.
Maybe - just maybe - a browser upgrade or patch changed things, or maybe it's one of those things that you've just noticed because you're doing something different.

I'm honored to feature in your considerations, however I did report the exact same problem a couple of days ago.
I also discovered and described the behavior of spaces getting swallowed under some conditions (see here[^]) [*], however the two issues are quite distinct.
The current issue can be described like this:
- if the caret is somewhere in a word, and a double click is applied, the entire word plus the trailing space, if any, get selected. That seems normal behavior of TextBoxes and the like. I don't want the CP web site to change that (assuming it could).
- when the mouse is dragged (or shift-arrow key combinations are typed), anything can be selected.
- the problem arises when one of the style widgets (bold, italics, small, ..., and mostly underline) is then clicked. This applies the style to whatever is selected.
Our shared suggestion/plea is to unselect the trailing space when present. So you should not remove the trailing space, all that would be required is to consider it not part of the selection, resulting in it not getting bolded/italicized/.../underlined.
PS: no Wrath is imminent, a little grumble maybe.
{ADDED}
[*] it is unrelated to CP, seems to be normal HTML interpretation of multiple spaces.

Exactly! In other words, undo the change.

I'm not convinced anything has changed, actually. When I "solved" the space highlighting problem, all I did was improve my observations and come up with a plausible theory; I don't think Chris modified anything at all around that time, but then, one never knows.
AFAICT the trailing-space-being-underlined bug has always existed, but then I'm not so sure as I used to not use the widgets much until recently, and I seldom use underline. Now, if it were fixed, I'd use it more.

I don't know exactly when it changed, but I DO know that it did. When I noticed this several weeks ago, this caught my eye immediately, and I thought, How awful! This is such a typographical faux pas that not even apprentice typesetters would make.
Yes, you don't need to tell me that I'm way too picky about such things. Probably a left-over from one of my first projects, when I worked on a commercial typesetting system.

I'm saying no such thing, and in fact, you are not IMO. All opportunities to improve things should be considered, big or small, doesn't matter. Small-and-easy should just be done with.

I just tried to add a tip containing code in VB where some of the code was class attributes enclosed in < and > . That doesn't work at all when you wrap it in pre tags.
I'll try to post the lines here to see what happens:
With pre tags:
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(Label))> _
Public Class TransparentLabel
Without pre tags:
<toolboxbitmap(gettype(label))> _
Public Class TransparentLabel
EDIT: Nope, neither of the code snippets show properly - the attribute line is disappearing - Editors that can see this post in edit mode will see what I mean...
