[BUG] Nation profile infobox incomplete?

[Knights of LUSITANIA]

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=the ... _republics

Can't see this nation's population, national animal, etc.

Edit:

It's... it's there but it's scootched to the right and everyone else I asked sees the same bug here and some other nations' infoboxes.



Edit 2:



Seems that this type of invisible character when used in succession does not get paragraphed down to a next line properly(?) like regular text, or, does not count toward the normal character limit, causing the break.

It appears setting your animal to "　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　" pushes all text to the right.

Curious to see what it does to issues, too!

It seems like that nation is using a really huge invisible unicode character long enough to make the character limit not matter, and the page rendering engine - not knowing what the hell to do with that - just shoves the whole business offscreen.

That'll be fixable by

1. Fixing the code to account for insanely long inputs, or
2. Simply blacklist extremely long characters, like that Cuneiform mess, or even that Arabic script that, depending on the device, either gets compressed into one small thing (like Android) or explodes into a wall of text (like Windows).

Now fixed, thanks for the report.

The main bug was that we were only trimming standard whitespace, not weird whitespace like double-width Unicode characters. We will now reject a national animal like in the example because after the whitespace is removed, there's no content left. I also added a fix so this kind of thing doesn't break layout when viewing a nation that set their custom field this way pre-fix.

Looks like they bypassed it, it's shoved to the side again... At least on my screen (Kindle).

Fixed.

I didn't change anyone's custom fields. There's a display-side fix to prevent layout breakage from old, now-illegal values, but very old Kindles (incl. the 2012 Touch) don't support it.

Oh. I'm on a Kindle 7th Gen, 2014. That could be the problem.

On Echo Show 15 it works properly.
