formatting on ipad

[Fiddleman 4,376]

Still cannot get basic formatting like new lines to work when composing a post. Then when I update a post, all new lines are lost. Can this get fixed? It is pretty low hanging fruit as far as bugs go. I checked for an update on Bariatric Pal in the store and did not find one. I am on latest. It doesn't work on my razor 2 phone either. I wish WYSIWYG support exists and minimally text formatting would be preserved.

Help?

I moved this bug report/request over to the Assistance & Suggestions. I'm not subscribed to the other forums. It was just by chance that I noticed your post.

I'm going to see what I can do about this issue. We've resolved most of the big ones and it looks like this might need to wait until the next major update is released. I'll let you know.

Hi there, I just use the web browser on my iPad rather than the app....it works fine and I can enlarge the text with swiping which makes things easy to read while watching a movie, etc. So far this is better than the app version......

I believe we might have fixed this issue. Please let me know if it's resolved on your end.

Test Is it fixed? Well it seems to be. When I edit the post it turns the newline into a space in the edit window. But does it put it back when I save?

Nope new lines are removed on edit. Almost fixed.

I can't seem to replicate on my end. Not having issues with edits.

[mistysj 1,940]

Edit this post and see

what happens.

Test of content on line.

3rd line.

5th line.

New lines are preserved on composition of a post.

However, they are removed on edit of a post.

Exactly. Alex, on your iPhone or iPad, edit one of our posts and you will see that the newline is turned into a single space. New newlines that you add are preserved .. Until the next edit.

See? It even did it in my quote of Fiddlerman's post.

I believe I'm able to replicate. Thanks!

This issue only appears on our iOS apps, not Android. We won't be able to fix this now since it's an issue with the actual app. I'll update this thread once our next iOS app is released.

I am pretty content that the formatting is working fairly well on composition of new threads or new posts within a thread. Thanks!

A minor issue I found is that when formatted content is copied into the new post it looks right, but there appears to be extra new lines when the thread is refreshed in the rendering of the content. This is not a big deal to me and would have a low severity. I would much rather get the right number of new lines or extra new lines then no new lines (as was happening when I started this thread).

Here is an example. I copied the following text into this post:

Metabolic Conditioning - builds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways.

Gymnastics - establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion.

Weightlifting and throwing - develop ability to control external objects and produce power.

Sport - applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill mastery.

There are no blank new lines visible in the content when the text is in the edit area of a post. However, in the rendered view, there are new lines.

I am also looking forward to when the edit post "collapse new lines" bug will get fixed with a new version of the app in the iOS store.
