Having the same issue. Workaround is to use the 'Advanced' editor.
Enter a few characters, hit return so the cursor gits to next line, enter a few more characters, hit delete a few times, now go back to first line and type as normal.
Does it also happen in a word processing program (i.e., off-browser), or just in browser?

I'm not having any difficulties with spaces at all.
Men inherently have greater natural spatial ability than women. That's probably why.Quote:

Many are well skilled at keeping men spaced well apart from them.Quote:

I would just roll with it and if anybody bitches about it just blame it on the meds.
I sometimes get a problem of the curser not appearing until after typing a few characters then backspacing, along with the space bar intermittently not spacing.
Another forum I'm on which uses the same forum service/software has been having the same issue
Not seeing the problem myself. I access the site via an iPad using Safari 99% of the time.
Throw the troubleshooter a bone. Those experiencing the problem, what OS and browser (including browser version) are you using?
Win7 Chrome 54.0.2840.71 m
Seems to pop up more often when reply with quote.

Usually the first reply after you log in.
Windows 7 Professional
Chrome
Windows 10 Chrome. It only seems to be when I'm replying, both on the forum and in PMs.
Anyone else see the common denomnator here. It appears to be a problem with Chrome parsing the code from vBulletin. I'll research it.
FIFY. It was hard to read with all those spaces.Quote:

Oddly, we haven't changed a damn thing here. My guess is the WYSIWYG editor has some incompatibility with a new version of chrome. And when your chorme did an update, it broke it for you. I'm gonna see if there are any updates to the forum software that include a new version of the editor.
Kind of loathing it... who knows what the upgrade will mess up elsewhere... but I'll do it out of love for you all.
I am sure it is Chrome and I am looking at using a new browser as Chrome seems to be crashing more and more lately. Recommendations?
Firefox just had a huge zero day exploit published on it. They just released a fix. Allows a hacker to put malware on your computer (windows version only) from a hacked/compromised webpage without you knowing or even downloading anything. Make sure you get that patch applied if you move to FireFox.
FireFox is good, as is chrome (usually, but seems a bad batch has come out recently). Opera usually ranks next. If you are Mac, safari is pretty decent, but not quite at the top of the list. As awful as Internet Explorer used to be, the newer versions (IE 11, Edge) aren't nearly as awful (less bad, but not quite good), and will get you through fine while the others get fixed up. If you want to be 'cutting edge' check out vivaldi and torch. Pretty cool features, good performance, but new(ish) players on the market. Both have worked for me, but I'd give the nod to vivaldi. Its personal customization is pretty cool.
Chrome will get fixed up soon. There is too big of an opensource ecosystem with chromium (which feeds into chrome) for these bugs to remain at-large.
Users are seeing the same issue over on another vb 4.1.x forum I frequent...
Its neither here nor there, but today I had to use Waterfox to get an HTML5 interactive/video presentation to show/run only after clicking through several errors that were stalling all other browsers. Sigh.
I just had it happen on a Win10 machine using Opera 41.0
It is hit or miss. Right after it happened on one post, I was able to type the next post without issue.
It is annoying but simple to fix by going back and adding the spaces after I've finished typing. I would guess it is a WYSIWYG issue but that would be a total guess on my part.
run mbam, adwcleaner, jrt, rkill, rougekiller, all on a regular basis...Quote:

Lol. Spend as much time maintaining your computer as you do using it :)
Or just switch to Linux/Mac and run one scanner that is likely not even needed.
Unless you are like me, and have to have Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices to cross test a bunch of software. But then again, even on my windows machine, one scanner seems to do it for me... but I only use it for work and am 'in the know'.
Most of my daily browsing is on Linux, and the rest is on Mac. Maybe 0.01% is from Windows when I just happen to be working on that device.

I do have to use Windows to run a lot of the vendor tools, and use it to access the big iron.
Until this past September I had completely dumped Windows. Then I had to install ArcGIS and it really doesn't run well in a VM on lower resource machines. So a separate drive with Win10 just for ArcGIS and I can't wait until this semester is over. The drive comes out of my regular laptop and my Mint Linux drive goes back in until late January.
The issue seems to be completely random. Sometimes refreshing the page corrects it, other times if you go to advanced editing mode it corrects it. Cussing seems to help intermittently, although this is tough to gauge as the cussing is relatively constant.
This is my experience as well.Quote:

Not just the first reply for me. Have to put in a character before using the space bar.Quote:

I think I have this fixed. Anyone else still noticing this? If so, can you try to clear your cache and see if it is fixed then?Quote:
