WSYGI editor: code is messed up

Hi everybody...

for a couple of days, I see my code is just messing up when I answer a question, and use

it adds lost of lıne numbers left and right and code here is just unreadable...
look at this

check this

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29199746/ASP-Net-dynamically-add-custom-gridview.html#a43189803

when you click "select all" it selects the code, not those line numbers
and when you copy paste to another place you get the right code...

I checked different browsers and FF is also showing those messed up numbers...

is it only me, or everybody is having the same issue?

Can you do a screen video of what you are experiencing? Then post that to the feedback link found at the footer of the page. I have had similar issues and have been promising to do a screen video myself.

Can you do a screen video of what you are experiencing?

simple

go to this link
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29199746/ASP-Net-dynamically-add-custom-gridview.html#a43189803

copy the code
open code snippet here
paste and post/preview

that's all

case "1":
  // Query 1
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table1";
  break;
case "2":
  // Query 2
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table2";
  break;
case "3":
  // Query 3
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table3";
break;

I see this on screen now, but after post it will be messed up, I guess

I did, they said "they are aware of it" but no idea what is causing it, how to re-produce it, how to fix it on my side...

There are 2 work arounds.

1) Using "Visual" editor. Right click where you want to paste and paste as plain text, Then select what you pasted and select the code option. This is the result.

case "1":
  // Query 1
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table1";
  break;
case "2":
  // Query 2
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table2";
  break;
case "3":
  // Query 3
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table3";
break;

Open in new window

That was a direct paste from copying the code in your link.

2) Set the the comment box to "Text" instead of "Visual". Plaste your code and again select the code feature or just wrap the code in mark down using
[code] code here [/code]

I am using visual editor all the time. if I do what you say, all text EOL lines and indent is lost
and here what is result

case "1":   // Query 1   SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table1";   break; case "2":   // Query 2   SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table2";   break; case "3":   // Query 3   SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table3"; break;

looks like this will be ok, but this is not the solution...
I want to use visual thing, that's why this editor is WSYGI

looks like EE is using

* froala_editor v2.6.5 (https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor)

maybe it is old version, maybe files are messed up in cloud...
maybe css is not updated or some scripts are from old version

not sure what is the issue...

ok, so both worked fine...
"paste as plain text" works fine...
now I will try it with the link

it worked as well...
so, the issue is "paste"
when I use "paste as plain text" it gets messed up...
I am using Chrome canary by the way...

HainKurt🇨🇦

ASKER

last try, with paste, just to confirm "paste" vs "paste as plain text"

case "1":
  // Query 1
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table1";
  break;
case "2":
  // Query 2
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table2";
  break;
case "3":
  // Query 3
  SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "select * from Table3";
break;

above is code snippet first + paste inside

ok, issue is understood...
"paste" does not work...
"paste as plain text" works...

Scott Fell🇺🇸

That's why I asked for a video screen cast.

Well, it is not an ideal situation but the workaround works.

The issue I believe lies in the froala editor. It just does not work well for code in the manner we want to use it. It is a real bear to work with.

HainKurt🇨🇦

ASKER

That's why I asked for a video screen cast.

I never used "paste plain text" before...
it was fine, till last week...
something updated on EE or froala editor...

but, why I don't see this in other posts?
is everybody using "paste as plain text"? I don't think so...
so, why just me?

can you re-produce the issue with "paste"?

Yes I can reproduce it and I have been using paste as plain text ever since this new editor. The only time I don't have to use paste as plain text is when the editor is set to Text instead of Visual. It is possible that you had that set to text? I don't know but using the code feature has always been a mess with the froala editor.

I think enough of us have expressed concern and as they told you it is a known issue. All we can do is move on.

I can use "text" mode,
but
I dont want to, since I add screenshots and use styling a lot...
