marklcfc Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 I've noticed sometimes large gaps will appear at the end of posts when someone posts on my site. This has happened quite often over the years but the current member its affecting is extreme, sometimes it canbe 200+ lines meaning you have to scroll a long time until the post ends. I have asked what phone and browser they are using and its a Samsung a53 using default browser. Example here

Example here As a trouble shooting attempt, could you have that user turn off the 'Power Saving' function on their phone and see if that alters the experience?
Marc Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 This does unfortunately appear to be a bug on samsung phones SeNioR-, Clover13 and AlexJ 1 2
marklcfc Posted January 15, 2023 Author Posted January 15, 2023 I'm still getting quite a few complaints about this and long empty spaces at the end of posts

AlexJ Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Yup few Samsung users on our site are complaining for it. Bug is still their.
teraßyte Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Since this is a Samsung bug IPS can't really do much about it. Your only solution until they fix the issue on their side would be to use this plugin: The plugin doesn't remove only empty rows at the start and end of the post, but also in between paragraphs though.

AlexJ Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Does the APP removes before saving i.e. so that if later, if no one updates it, forum post will not be broken? OR it will remove during read? Thanks
Clover13 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Just went through this with a member and it boiled down to them using the default Samsung browser (Chrome variant) rather than the native Chrome browser. They switched to native Chrome and have been good since. AlexJ 1

Thanks I have not used the plugin myself so I'm not 100% sure but, based on the information the developer added in the Additional Information TAB (on how to add it to Pages databases), I believe it uses Javascript to remove the empty lines after the page is loaded. If I am correct it means the post is saved as-is and simply altered to look different after it's loaded in the user's browser. If you disable the plugin the posts will display again the extra lines. In this case a plugin that removes the extra empty lines at the end before saving would probably be better. It needs to be coded from scratch though. AlexJ 1

I have decided to stick myself with either your, Adriano, Michael, dawpi, Aiwa, Ehren, etc. apps. with whom I am familiar and they (developers) are around for a long time, as far as I know.

Clover13 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Just had another member experience this, who was also using the Samsung Browser and was totally confused as to why it was happening. He knows now and is making the change to native Chrome as well. Wish there was a way to notify a Samsung Browser user (or any user using an unsupported browser) to change and outright block their posting to prevent this. That's probably better than a reactive cleanup type plugin.
AshieF73 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 +2 for users on my site. Seems to be a recent bug issue. Both confirmed it only happens when they use Samsung's own default browser, not if they use the Chrome browser. I am trying to find out which Samsung phones they are using. But does anybody know if this is a confirmed Samsung issue rather than an Invision software bug?
Marc Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 We have had information from another user, its being caused by this setting on samsung phones. Those turning it off have seen the problem stop Samsung Keyboard>More Typing Options>Enhanced accuracy (labs) Randy Calvert 1

Square Wheels Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Is this being considered for being fixed? It happens on my S21 using Edge.

As mentioned several times on this subject, it is not an issue in our software. This is an issue with the device. To help remedy it, you can try turning off: Samsung Keyboard>More Typing Options>Enhanced accuracy (labs)
