Bug? Liking a root post in the boing group collapses it and makes it unreadable

Ok… I’ve got what seems to be a pretty solid repro.

  1. Highlight text from top post to craft a reply (ETA: This has to be in a topic with collapsible posts like #boing)
  2. Save the post

Result:

Observation: This seems to require replying to a collapsible (“Show full post”) post. I tried the “quote and reply” trick here and it didn’t work. Next time I reply to a top post on a #boing thread I’ll try these exact steps to see if it happens again.

Yeah, I just tried quoting the ‘Bonobo’ post and it collapsed, and the ‘read full post’ button was missing

Confirmed: quoting the top post causes the whole thing to collapse. I can repro on iOS Safari, too.

As a complete aside, I was cleaning my bookshelf in my office today and started thumbing through my old and worn out copy of Code Complete.

That’s when I finally realized where I recognized your avatar from.

Thanks for the hint towards quoting. It took a long time to fix but I have a fix ready:

It will be available the next time we deploy bbs.
