Squares around letters

[Zakilevo]

I don't know what is going on but my BM website has squares at the end of some paragraphs. They are sometimes on top of letters or numbers.

Are these, perchance, always sent by the same person?

The one he posted was a game message about the shadow government. Perhaps he has been playing with the encoding of his browser?

I've started seeing this a lot, too. Plus some other character-based oddities, too. (Anaris may remember me talking about weird characters on IRC, too. That's new for me.)

What browser do you use? Chrome or Safari? Something to do with a new browser version?

[Zakilevo]

Chrome. The squares have started to appear just recently. Maybe a month or two ago.

I have the same problem. It started around a week ago. Chrome.

Yep. I thought I was the only one! :P

Chrome, same symptoms. And also, when typing in italics, the quotation marks often move out of line, so that they cover the next letter (or vice versa).

[De-Legro]

I use both the release branch and the development branch of chrome, always updated to the latest version. I haven't seen a problem.

The life of web development, particularly if you are trying to develop things using some of the newest HTML 5 features, like indexed DB. Its a constant game of find things that don't work, checking the browser sites to see if a bug report/work around is already posted, waiting for a development release to address the problem and then picking up where you left off.

Usually a sign of encoding problems. I think we should make an effort to make everything UTF-8.

Feel free to interpret my comment as ignorance :)

I can confirm the same issue in Chrome 16.0.912.63 m
