Question by Fattie · Sep 02, 2012 at 08:01 AM · bugsanswers.unity3d.com

Horrible editing problems on this site?

Whenever I edit text on this web site,

for me it is broken --

any special characters are changed to some sort of funky html tag (remember the 80s?)

and the logic does not follow through once you Save - it pastes in the mess to the actual final post.

QUESTION, does this happen to everyone or is it some bizarre problem i have created with an ordinary safari browser?

Feel free to TEST this by simply clicking Edit below and see your 'experience'.

Here's some special characters. You'se've "godda" féx 'bugs' == happy "users" -> more users || higher "sale price" to facebook

Again, does everyone have this problem ? Cheers!

example

 void Start()
 {
 _GameManager = GameObject.Find("_GameManager");
 }


PS -- another lesser problem at the editing stage is the "black out" of the title when typing in or editing a title. Does everyone else see that? Just click Edit here and change a letter in the title to see the problem.

The '80s didn't have HT$$anonymous$$L.... But yes, editing and stuff has been messed up for quite a while. There have been a couple of meta-questions about it, but no sign of anyone fixing the problems.

I have yet to receive an answer for my email to support@unity regarding this question :

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/293216/is-there-any-way-to-fix-code-formatting-on-unity-a.html

I also have the question blacked out, I had assumed it was searching for similar posts when this happens, but the black-out thing is not helpful.

Ah - thanks for the info. So at least it's a known problem. I'm not hallucinating!

Just as a curiosity, I can't figure the problem pattern - some examples work, some don't.

Setting aside the actual bug, it occurred to me that sites like this where code is often posted, should include a "format this code in a standard way" option ... posters (w/ less than 15 yrs experience ;) often post horribly-formatted code, concrete-poetry style.

Another annoying $$anonymous$$or bug at the moment seems to be the "search+terms+plus+signs" nuisance when you search. And the issue where you search on Answers but it annoyingly changes the popup to "all"\

It's astonishing (in a good way) that Unity is so busy w/ growth that not one person in the organization has five $$anonymous$$utes to yell at whatever company supplies these web services to fix it.

not related to unity, but an ironic question :P,

I used the newest Firefox 15, and as you've described first I get the original problem. However when I click save, it saves the normal character instead of the ASCII character which is I believe what your refering to.

http://www.asciitable.com/

here's a "test" == 'woes' ... test again

 here's a code block == worries

another test ..

 void Start()
 {
 _GameManager = GameObject.Find("_GameManager");
 }
