Found the "quoting bug"
« on: March 14, 2015, 08:35:55 AM »
I just realized that the way quote works:

if NOTHING is selected, the entire post gets quoted.

if SOMETHING from the post is selected, only the selected part gets quoted. So if one selects the important sentence and hits 'quote', it (and nothing else) will get quoted. If someone accidentally selects a random, single char or word, only the char/word will get quoted and i believe this is the source of ganz's quoting bug problem, which isnt really a bug, but a feature. (literally lol)

How would Ganz accidentally be selecting random text 25% of the time he tries to quote?

for one hes stupid and delusional, i also imagine he was using the touch screen to scroll up/down and i suppose it would only take an accidental doubleclick to select something

this thread is a repeat and its even on the same page of forrum affairs wtf

that "feature" was already described by blid

Spoiler
What bug?
no, for me it always quotes it wrong and I have to keep erasing it and doing it over and over again.

I click the "Quote (selected)" button on a post and it quotes the whole post.  Very nice.

I highlight a certain part of a post and hit that same button, and it
always quotes it wrong

always quotes it right.



and ganz still says "ill check it out"
you would think even after that thread and its replies, he would've already tested it

Anyway, I once experienced(only once) quoting cutted too, i was using a windows8 slow computer, not sure if that has to do with anything or wut.
