Details

For some time (several weeks), when localizing support articles, tags containing spaces are incorrectly copied to the clipboard. As a result, after insertion, these tags do not work correctly. You have to manually delete everything and insert right spaces.

Examples of such tags:

  • illustrations containing spaces in the tag with link to the image;
  • constructions of the form {for fx108};
  • links to articles (I discovered this today) of the form "Article title|link text".

See https://support.mozilla.org/nl/forums/l10n-forum/716114?last=84682

reproduce

  • Edit a article marked as need update
  • copy from the en-US version a tag like {for fx108}
  • paste the tag into the l10n version
  • press example of content
  • the tag is in the text, you see {for fx108}
  • remove the copied tag en type it yourself
  • press example of content
  • the tag works as expected

Hey Tim,

Thanks for capturing this issue into a bug report. When you mention "press example of content", do you mean to select Content Preview button? And when you do that, the exact line "{for fx108}" showed in the preview instead of acting as a tag as it is intended?

yes sorry i re translate the dutch version of sumo to English, i mean indeed Content Preview

If you have copied the tag then it will show the wording of the tag as text and does not work

Morphing this into type: bug.

Hey Tim,

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce this issue.

Is this still occurring for you? If yes, could you please help us by attaching a screencast to this ticket? It would help greatly.

Thank you!

I haven't experienced this for about a week. It looks like it's fixed.
