Potential text alignment bug in factbooks?

Postby Gandoor » Sat Dec 03, 2016 8:58 pm

Okay, so I was going through my factbooks when I noticed, what I am presuming, is a glitch involving text alignment. The possible bug involves someone using the size-tags to make text larger or smaller and then using a single line-break to write more text.

On the forums, doing such a thing results in this:
This sentence is
properly on two lines.

In factbooks, however, it results in this:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=733034

And obviously, as you can see from the raw formatting, the text that has been modified with the size-tags are on two separate lines, but the game is rendering it as one line of text.

I have run into the same issue, using Firefox (v 49 and 50) and Chrome (v 52-54). Below is an example:

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=732548

And here is a screenshot showing what the dispatch used to look like.

As you can see, the linebreaks after "Repeal Liberate Eternal Scholars" and after the logo in the footer have disappeared. In both cases, the issue seems to be caused by the use of the SIZE bbtag.

For more examples, you can look at pretty much every dispatch posted by the above nation. They all use the same footer, which is rendered incorrectly because of the disappearing linebreaks.

I have had the same problem with my nation Europeia Dispatch Office and its dispatches.

My Europeian WA Headquarters nation uses basically the same footer, so - unsurprisingly - it has the same issues described by Calvin and others here.

Thanks! As far as I can tell, all of the dispatches I reported above are now rendering as they used to.
