[2.0] [2.1] Emoji break preview

[Arskrigitsioniets]

Emojis like this 😄 break preview on 2.0 and on 2.1.

Are you using Beta 3 or the latest github version?

[Bigguy]

This works fine on my site.

[Arskrigitsioniets]

Are you using Beta 3 or the latest github version?

I tried beta 3 that is installed on Russian smf support forum: https://www.simplemachines.ru.

And I myself use 2.0.15 version on my forum форум.стратегикон.рф and I see the same problem.

hmmmm... looks like he's inserting emoji emojis - not a smiley from the server...

[Gwenwyfar]

It might have been fixed already. Try the latest version.

I'm too lazy to install it  If you have free time, just try it on your version in development.

Yes, the problem is exactly with emoji emojis.

Like this: 😄. You can copy it by cntrl+c and insert as a text.

The comedy is that this will almost certainly be two completely different bugs depending on 2.1 configuration.

This was fixed in SMF 2.1 in pull request #4059 on May 17, 2017, and I just did a preview of this post right now, which demonstrated clearly to me that it has also already been fixed in SMF 2.0. 😉 Please upgrade to the latest versions.

If you speak that you have already fixed it on 2.0, why do I right now do a preview and see this? For some reasons, I can't attach an attachment to this post now, so this is a screenshot:


Also on my forum 2.0.15 форум.стратегикон.рф I see the same problem. And on Russian smf community forum 2.1.3 I see the same problem. https://www.simplemachines.ru/index.php

Also on my forum 2.0.15 форум.стратегикон.рф I see the same problem.

I don't know why it isn't working for you, but I can't reproduce the problem in any of my tests. I've tested again on two other SMF 2.0.15 forums, and previewing a post containing emoji characters works in both cases.

And on Russian smf community forum 2.1.3 I see the same problem. https://www.simplemachines.ru/index.php

That forum is using a version of SMF 2.1 Beta 3 from before the bug was fixed. It needs to be updated.

Is your 2.0.15 forum using Unicode character encoding, known as UTF-8? If not, that might be causing you problems. Emoji characters only work properly with Unicode.

[Arantor]

Is that preview from quick reply or preview from full editor? I have long suspected the latter as mangling submissions with emoji.

Yes, I'm using UTF-8. If I see this bug on this forum as well (www.simplemachines.org), but you speak that you don't have the bug... maybe the problem is in the browser? I use Google Chrome 71.0.3578.98 in the Russian language. I've just installed clear 2.0.15 version and I see the same bug...

From full editor.

[Arantor]

Yeah, I bet the JS chokes on it.

[Sesquipedalian]

I was doing my tests from the full editor.

Edit: Never mind. My memory must be failing. Yes, this bug does appear when the preview comes from the full editor, but not from the quick editor.

[Arantor]

That's why I've suspected but never proven that it worked properly because ever since I wrote the emoji handling hack, I've never been 100% convinced it was 100% reliable... but I could never consistently reproduce it breaking, even when it was just a patch I had locally.

[Sesquipedalian]

I'm reopening this now that we've figured out how to reproduce it.

This will be fixed in the upcoming 2.0.16.

Originally reported in SMF 2.0.15 Message Preview failing on emojis

This was reported a few times & a fix is targeted for 2.0.16 - I am going to close the dupes & keep one open:
