I've just noticed a default character appearing in the Message field  (e.g. Create New Topic, Quick Reply, Post Reply, Private Message). It does not appear in the Subject field.

This happens on my forum and also on this WWF support forum so it does not appear unique to my setup.

When using Chrome browser on either the server (RDP) or laptop the character appears as "". It appears as a space on the laptop but as a weird character on RDP to the server. Notice the change to this text after I pasted! This looks like my CSS font colour!

<reset by pasting> When using IE Browser on either system everything works fine.

I'm using v11.10 on W2012R2 with SQL. It is possible it has been like this for some time and I didn't notice. However, last night there were two significant updates (SQL and 2012R2). One consideration may also be CSS, when I last upgraded WWF I simply used my old CSS however this issue also affects this forum.

A guess is that Chrome is dealing incorrectly with the formatting of the larger text fields (memos?).

After posting I note the change in font size but the blue colour seen before posting has reverted to black. Whatever, it seems like formatting data is displaying.

Any thoughts on this problem....weird (invisible) character at start of reply field (this forum and mine) using Chrome but not IE?

The invisible character is needed in order for the carrot to display so you can see where abouts in the post you are typing.

This is a workaround to fix a bug in Chrome.

The invisible character is automatically removed when you submit the post. 

We have not checked in sometime but if the issue is now fixed in Chrome will look at removing in the next update.
