Hi. I am active on several different forums, using different forum software. A friend has a forum using WW (7.9), and that has this annoying bug when using Konqueror (3.4.0): It wraps the lines much shorter than when posting with other browsers (After about 55 chars). Now, since e.g. Firefox does not do this, it is easy to blame the browser, but how come this only happens in Web Wiz, and not in phpBB, UBB, etc?
For an illustration, do a forum search here for "Konqueror": In the topics "Forum database" and "browser + os detection", two Konqueror users (xeerex and dan_a) seems to have the same symptom. See how the linebreaks are compared to the other posts? Any ideas why it happens, or should I post a KDE bug report? |

The problem lies in that Konqueror doesn't support the WYSIWYG Editor
as the makers of Konqueror are yet to implement RTE features into this
browser. Instead they have to use a standard textarea, for the standard textarea wrapping is done using the virtual method (wrap="virtual") which according to W3C standards means the browser should not submit the data from the textarea with any line breaks as they should be virtual. The problem is that some browsers, and I guess Konqueror must be one, don't follow the w3c standards when submitting textareas using the virtual wrapping method. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thank you for clearing that up.
Seems like something has changed from 7.9 to 8.0a1, though, as these posts also are written with the same browser, but doesn't wrap early (: (2 mins later) Okay, took a view source on both. From my friend's 7.9 forum: <textarea name="message" cols="57" rows="12" wrap="PHYSICAL" onSelect="storeCaret(this);" onClick="storeCaret(this);" onKeyup="storeCaret(this);"> From the source of these pages: <textarea name="message" id="message" cols="57" rows="15" wrap="virtual"> Might be has been playing around with the source on his own
