knapplc Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Can we make it so your text doesn't flow off the screen when you're in plain text mode, as it does here: Whereas in Full Text mode, the text wraps and you can see what you're typing without scrolling: It used to do this in the past, and sometime this year it changed to not wrap the text. 1 Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is the first example from a mobile device? When I use plain text on a desktop, it wraps, but on a moble device it doesn't. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I guess I haven't noticed this happening. For me, it wraps at the end of the window even if that is in the middle of a word. Could it be an issue with the browser? Windows 8/Chrome works fine. Edited August 5, 2015 by Mavric AR beat me to it. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Both are from desktop. I use Firefox, both on a PC and a Mac, and it does it on both. The pics are small because I shrunk the window. Figured you wouldn't want a 22" screenshot. Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thinking, then, that it is a browser issue. Mavric says it doesn't happen in Chrome, and it doesn't happen in IE 11, so I think there may have been some update to Firefox that's causing it. Give it a try in Safari and IE and see what happens. Also, what resolutions are you running? 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 After some searching, turns out this is a Firefox issue, post release 36.0. They're on 39.x right now, and still no fix. Way to be, Mozilla. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Not sure what you need to do but if you type in "regular" mode does it do the same thing? Maybe type in regular mode then switch it to do any editing? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 I usually switch back and forth between the two. Quote Link to comment

Do you have a link to it? Probably not much we can do if that's the case, but just in case! 1 Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hey, what do you know! It would be great if you can convince the site to change this to:<textarea id="main_description" name="b[description]" style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="editor field"></textarea> Looks like we can change that. Try now. It also sounds like it's this CSS that is wrong, not Firefox -- hence why no change will be forthcoming: There is always pain when sites rely on nonstandard browser behaviors because sooner or later, those behaviors will change, assuming browser makers continue to make progress toward supporting standards 2 Quote Link to comment
