sorry about the above, my bad. I was posting to my demo blog, not my live one.
No worries. Just a quick update, weāve fixed yet more issues. I think the editor is in good shape now. Not 100% bug-free but itās getting close and should be usable for everyone.
Sorry to continue to tack on here, but I may as well put all my issues in one place.
Not sure what this is related to, I saw that there was now a limit put in place for syntax highlighting after a certain character count. This in-progress post is not using any markup, it is just a series of paragraphs. Upon starting this new paragraph, the text is now black instead of white. Any ideas @manton?
Weird, I havenāt seen that yetā¦ Does it always happen with multiple paragraphs for you? I canāt reproduce it yet just typing random paragraphs or copy/pasting in longer posts.
Iām not sure, this was the first post of this type since the new editor came out. When I went back to the post after saving, it was not like this. Though it happened multiple times while trying to get it to go away while authoring the post. Iāll be publishing another one like this tomorrow so Iāll know if it is still an issue.
Okay this just got weird. Not sure if if helps to specify Iām in Safari.
This is not copy/pasting, I am just typing everything out into the editor.
Iām also using Safari in both the browser and in a PWA and Iāve not see this. macOS 14.6.1 on an M1 Mini. Could it be an extension? Iāve also recently performed a clean install and restore from Time Machine. In addition, I often find that Safari starts to behave oddly when itās been running for a few days. I donāt restart often. Maybe once a week or so.
I doubt it, I donāt use any extensions with Safari.
I often paste text into the Web editor from a desktop text editor. I write in the desktop text editor with a blank line between paragraphs. The web editor then inserts an extra blank line. Is there a way to change this behavior?
I know that the web editor wants me to use a single enter per paragraph. But Iāve been doing two enters for decades and I donāt want to change that behavior.
Thanks!
Is your text editor plain text or rich text? I do not observe this when pasting plain text.
Plain text. And now that I think of it, maybe it doesnāt happen every time?
Iāll keep an eye on it and see if I can find a pattern.
That would definitely rule that out then. Just a thought.
Alright this has happened consistently for three days right when I reach ~2000 characters, it has to be tied to that.
I inspected the element and it appears that all other text in the .editor that is white (other than links or tags) does not have any other HTML element around them. However once it is switching to black, it is wrapped in .editor_plain that is picking up CSS to make it black.
Just to reiterate, this is not copying/pasting anything into the editor. Iām just typing all the paragraphs out into the editor, and it seems I cross a threshold around ~2000 characters that then makes the text black.
Thank you, that is starting to make sense. The 2000 limit is sort of a temporary fix for performance problems when pasting in long documents, but itās probably too short.
Iāll work on fixing this and also expanding the limit.
I think mixing markdown and HTML in a post in the new editor causes one of the formats to fail.
Quotebacks suddenly arenāt working for me
Seems to display fine in the micro.blog feed but persistently empty on the front end.
Iāve increased the styling limit to 5000 characters while I work on deeper improvements.

Just tested a quoteback and Iām not seeing that problemā¦ Can you share the URL to that post? Thanks.
I encountered this bug again. Pasting from the Web editor and back into the web editor, using the Paste clipboard manager on the Mac. After pasting, the text has an extra blank line between paragraphs.
That sounds to me like Paste. I just grabbed a recent multi-paragraph post in Firefox. I copied it, then pasted it back, with and without a round trip into vim and neither added lines.
Have you tried this without Paste watching your clipboard?
Good tip. Thank you.
