Might be another glitch with posting. Words repeating.

[Synthman]

Recently I noticed in my previous forum posts that words have been repeated twice, usually at the end of the first line and the beginning of the second. I don't usually make mistakes like that, and looking back through my post history, am surprised to find so many.

Now I've realised it's not just me, and many other posts by different members have the same problem. I think it's a glitch with the new forum software?

I've just looked back at some of your recent posts and don't see the problem you report above. Can you give me a specific example?

 

[Synthman]

Ok, very quickly here's a few that I found just now. The repeating always occurs in the same place which is why I think it isn't just down to simple typing errors.

It didn't take much effort to find these. If I had the time I could find more I reckon! Now for some examples which I posted myself:

There's actually more posts of mine with this problem in, but I'm tired of cutting/pasting the link!

Again, these word doubling all occur at the end of the first line, and the beginning of the second line.

Edit: It also happened in this post as well!

Edit #2: The problem is not apparent when I view the post in editing mode. Also Flecc's quote of one of my examples doesn't show the repeated word, unless he edited it out himself. The last example I posted (security chain testing) redirects to a completely different thread too.

Very odd, I cannot see the problem on my machine. I've tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox (all latest versions).

Can you paste in a screenshot ? Also what browser are you using and version?

I'll try and arrange a screenshot if the forum allows a large image to be posted.

Using Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7601.17514)

I have two other machines I can test it on, but they're not wired up for internet access yet.

Here's a couple of screenshots of the post and how it looks when I edit it.

I can't see anything wrong either.

I recently upgraded to IE9 and still have the same issue, but I know what caused it now!

I've got quite a large screen, and the zoom in the browser is set to 125%. If I increase or decrease the zoom the words don't repeat, but at 125% the problem shows up.

Thanks for the update Synthman, explains why none of us could see it!
