Article problems

Any one notice when writing an article the line spacing changes ie. line breaks get wider.
Its only apparent when viewing the draft, ok when published.

It does make it hard to edit an article

heres the same lines after its published..


Also the font face changes from paragraph to paragraph. ::)

You can see the difference here in the font..



The one above has changed to wider spacing even though I have made no changes..



This has happened on a live site and a test site

both running TinyPortal 2.1.0 and SMF 2.1 RC4

Are you typing in the editor or copy and pasting the text in?

Also are these old articles from the previous editor pre TinyPortal V1.5.0?

Lesmond

Copy/paste and new articles

@rjen

I am not seeing that...(though I have had this with the old version of the editor)

Some more questions
- What type of article ? BBC or HTML?
- I assume the WYSIWYG editor is active?
- Where are you copying and pasting FROM?
- Perhaps you can attached the 'code' content of that article here?

I suspect the copy and past takes formatting from the source that somehow interferes...

Turn the editor off in article settings, then past the text into a new article and save.  Or have you already tried that?

Also, wasn't there an issue pasting stuff from Microsoft word to SMF generally. 

@rjen

Yeah, copying from Word brings across A LOT of hidden formatting. Generally not recommended

It seems to be ok if pasted as plain text, but I have noticed this happen when copy/pasted from a web page too, and copying text from a facebook post is really bad!


Lesmond

Is it worth noting, a lot of people will be copying from word/web pages and other sources, and wont think to paste as plain text.

Heres the article, I wrote the poems myself btw :)

@rjen

It's definately worth noting: it was noted before, but it seems to be something not easily solved... I for one have no solution for it...
