[resolved] Nabble message composition: if text selection begins at character 1, then selection is not recognised for markup

1. in a message editing window

2. type a word

3. select the word

4. click B or I (for bold or italic)

Bug 

 • The selected text is not marked up
 • Nabble prompts the user to enter text.

Workaround

Precede the text to be marked up with any character. A single white space suffices.

A guess

The bug bites only if the selected text includes the first character in the editing window.

Internet Explorer 7 failures with bold and italic features of the graphical markup toolbar

Graham Perrin
The previously mentioned workaround is

 • effective in Safari 3.2.1 (5525.27.1) and WebKit nightly and and Firefox 3.0.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.6, Intel

 • not effective in Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP.

A click on the B or I or Link buttons of the toolbar causes Internet Explorer to drop a warning that prompts the user to Temporarily Allow Scripted Windows.

Following the temporarily allowance:

 • selected text in any part of the IE message composition window can not be marked bold using the graphical toolbar

 • selected text in any part of the IE message composition window can not be marked italic using the graphical toolbar.

This warning re-presents following a reload, so I guess that the warning may present for any/every message composition in Internet Explorer 7.

Summary: IE is more severely bugged.

For me: Google Chrome beta in Windows XP is only very slightly bugged by graphical toolbar

At a glance: WebKit-based Google Chrome behaves as well as Gecko-based Firefox and WebKit-based Safari.

Thanks for reporting this. We have fixed the bug and this will be available in the next release, which should happen in the next 24 hours.
