1972004 - Text-Fragments: Suspiciously long text directive created on www.lipsum.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Jan Jaeschke [:jjaschke]]

Text directives on www.lipsum.com for the word "Lorem" are suspiciously long, for example:
Created by algorithm: https://www.lipsum.com/#:~:text=years%20old%2E%20Richard%20McClintock%2C%20a%20Latin%20professor%20at%20Hampden%2DSydney%20College%20in%20Virginia%2C%20looked%20up%20one%20of%20the%20more%20obscure%20Latin%20words%2C%20consectetur%2C%20from%20a-,Lorem
Shortest possible text directive: https://www.lipsum.com/#:~:text=a-,Lorem

Profiler Logging shows that the common string lengths going leftwards are wrong, leading to a 154 character long prefix.
