Publishing bugs

  • Over the past 2 days I’ve had 2 strange & related bugs connected to publishing new posts. I’m using WP 2.0.3.

    After I publish a post and then try to edit it by adding new text, I notice 2 things happening. First, after adding new text & hitting “save & continue editing” I notice that the blog will display the newly added text. But when I look at the post edit box I see that the text is truncated. In other words, the entire post is not displaying there. Rather, material towards the end of the post has disappeared.

    If I click the Refresh button (using Firefox 1.0.5), then the entire post text will reappear in the post edit box; but the publishing status will switch from having the Published button highlighted to having the Private button highlighted.

    When I highlight the Published button & click on Publish & Continue Editing, then the text in the post edit box is truncated again.

    It’s a vicious circle & I have no idea what is going on or why. Is any of this happening to anyone else? The only thing I can think of that I changed in my installation in the past 2 days was installing the Bad Behavior upgrade.

  • This is actually a bug, either in Firefox or WordPress. I’ve noticed it myself — it only happens when there’s a particularly long piece of text in a textarea (those are the things that let you type long bits text on a webpage — if you write a reply, you’ll be using one).

    There is a bug report for Firefox, but it could still be something wrong with wordpress, it might be a piece of javascript that’s malfunctioning. I’ve certainly only noticed it in wordpress ??

    Would anyone know how to ask WP experts here whether it might indeed be a Wp bug &, if it is, how to report it?

    Maerk: Do you also have the bug behavior of the Publishing mode changing fr. Published to Private? Or do you just have the problem w. the text getting lopped off?

    And yes, you’re right. This is ocurring only w. long texts.

    I’ve been using WP for a yr. & FF for several yrs. & never experienced the text bug before (but I have experienced the Publishing bug before using WP).

    I’ll try to report this to the FF support forum & see if anyone else is getting this problem.
