Could everybody work with David on the Github PR, please - there'll be a link somewhere downthread. I'm on funeral duties at the moment, the Bank is refusing to play ball, and my mind is ... somewhere else. |

Obvious that the change has now split words at the end of the line when they weren't before. Everywhere I read now has mis-formatted posts. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

OK, just added my comment that his new code breaks normal word formatting and makes awkward line feeds in the middle of any word at the end of any sentence when the sentence gets to the right edge of the post window.

Looks like DA noticed my comment and disapproval on his changes at Github and has adjusted the code to stop the breaking of words at the right hand side of the post window. Now posts don't have the last word broken to the next line. I can accept his latest code change.

...but it's sooooo darn small now. Firefox on Android, Use system font size. Because if we don't, it's even smaller. |

The fix hasn't been ported to the profile pages yet (and I'm afraid I'd have difficulties locating the appropriate Github thread to point this out), but of course it has none of the eye-bleeding urgency the word-breaking annoyance had on fora threads.

The Github thread is #2743 You would need to explain what your problem is with the profile pages, and under what circumstances it appears. I've had a look at your profile with both Chrome and Internet Explorer, and I don't see any problems with either. |

The Github thread is #2743Thanks for the specification, Richard. This isn't indeed a big problem, but it can be spotted (using Firefox) with the word "spacecrafts" in places such as https://screenshots.firefox.com/Bs5UiJK59YPteLIz/setiathome.berkeley.edu for example (whereas in the source we can see the word "spacecrafts" is concatenated). As is, it just means the fix hasn't been ported to profile pages - for Firefox users. Is it worth bringing to the coders' attention as it could be construed as mere nitpicking ? The simple thing would be for me to report it and just let them decide :) Apr 3, 1999 - May 3, 2020 |

Gotcha. When I squeeze the width of this Chrome window, long lines wrap by taking whole words on to the next line. When I do the same on your profile page, lines wrap letter by letter. That counts as a reportable bug. |

That counts as a reportable bug. Hi Richard, Just out of curiosity, I went to his profile page and in Firefox v63.0.1 I see word wrap and not letter wrap. Could it be a thing with Chrome?

I just looked at his profile with Chromium 70.0.3538.77 and it word wraps when the window is squeezed. Just tried with Firefox 63.0 Again only word wrap so the fix is working on his profile in both my browsers.

And it's doing the same for me, now (same browser, I haven't shut it down). Maybe they fixed it already, but I'd be surprised - I only notified it at 14:15 UTC, and that's early for the upper left side. No reply, so the mystery remains. |

No reply, so the mystery remains.Thanks for having reported / updated the Github profile layout problem report, Richard. I'm using Firefox 63.0.1 and in spite of zooming in/out the profile, and in spite of resaving my profile page after making sure all words are concatenated properly & emptying the cache & reloading the profile page, the problems (1, 2, 3...) persist.

OK, now I am seeing it in the profile. It only occurs on the entries after "Useful Links" Only entries below that point in the profile are letter wrapping. No problems above that section in the profile. All sentences word wrap above that point. So I would say there is either a limit to the profile buffer size above a point that loses word wrapping, or there is a major shift in formatting past that point that exposes the issue still.
