I'm not sure if it is the browser, but when I play from my mobile phone on Beluaterra now I can't make any linebreaks at all something that renders my posts written in one long line which is hard to read and hurtful to the eye. This is from a HTC Android phone.

I see the same behavior from my htc G2.

OK, two issues that I know of that are still outstanding with the editor:

  • Line breaks do not work on the mobile site. A couple of us have tested this, and confirmed it. No matter how many times you hit Enter, they are all stripped when you send, leaving you with one long paragraph.
  • When pasting scribe notes copied from the Scribe Note page, even as plain text, the line breaks disappear when you send or preview. So when you paste them into the editor, they *look* like they are all on separate lines, but when you preview or send, the line breaks are stripped out and they show up as a single line.

Any news on fixing mobile line breaks?

Tom

The problem is that I don't own one of those devices, so testing is rather tricky. And I'm not sure what they are doing differently that results in this problem. Are they not sending line-breaks?

Indirik

My mobile phone sent messages properly before the new editor was implemented. And it works fine on the forum, and on other sites, including e-mail, etc., all with the same browser. The only place it does not work properly with regard to line breaks is when sending messages on testing islands.

How could I tell what is being sent? I don't know of any way to check and see what is being sent via my phone.

Well, it might well be that the change regarding line changes that I added because so many people wanted it is breaking other things.
