note screwing up events log

[Marian]

Now this is a weird one.

Had a character pick up an old note with a red title. Something about this note, effects the formatting on the event log and makes me lose the blank likes for everything that came before it.

Click Show All and the events are all scrunched up like:
4823-6.18: You say: blah
4823-6.18: You say: blah blah
4823-6.18: You say: blah blah blah


instead of the more readable:

4823-6.18: You say: blah

4823-6.18: You say: blah blah

4823-6.18: You say: blah blah blah


I've dropped the offending note and now it's changed so that all the correctly spaced out, normal events are squashed down too.

I know it'll all disappear off the list, given time, but it's just so weird I mainly wanted to see if anyone could figure out what caused it.

So no idea? I'm assuming it had something to do with the code in the note title, but I don't understand how a color change could effect the event page.

I'll try and take a screenshot later if I can figure out a way to censor the text while still keeping it visible.

In the past there have been note titles that color all the events blue so something that messes up the formatting doesn't sound surprising. You should look at the source code. In cases like this it's usually a missing closing tag.

Iirc this happens for all note titles with functional html in them. I'll test a bit later.

[Marian]

It's not possible to change note titles anymore, right?

Surprised they can effect the event page so easily. If it could be done just by accident, seems like someone who knew what they were doing could really jack things up.

I think that's why HTML tags were disabled in note titles.
It happened before I joined, I think.

Shouldn't this issue be added to the "known bugs" stickied thread?

I've fixed some of the notes, but there are too many to do it manually.
The correct way will be to strip HTML in note names in events and that's probably what I'll do.
