TF The picture is complete, but rendered too small. Bug.
VK Interesting. On my computer, the right hand part of the image is
VK cut off. Are you also on TB 4.2.6?
No, I am using 4.1.11 on this computer.
VK The one from daily...@rbma.com shows black bars and rectangles all
VK over the place that are quite distracting (whereas elsewhere the
VK comics are bordered by solid blue boxes).
TF I have little black lines all over the place, no rectangles. I don't
think the images are rendered incorrectly, but the HTML code is
interpreted wrongly.
VK Again, sounds like it renders a little differently on your
VK computer than on mine. (We can always exchange screen shots via
VK private email if it becomes necessary.)
No, it's not necessary. I can't do anything about bugs, except support
your bugtracker entry once you've reported the bug officially.
VK I was assuming the black stuff is spacer gifs intended to be
VK transparent rendering incorrectly, so image rendering--looks very
VK much like that--but it could be something else--I still don't feel
VK like looking at the underlying HTML...
Believe, I won't. It's up to Ritlabs to do that. Just report the bug,
as otherwise they won't work on it.
Basically, I can confirm both HTML mails are rednered incorrectly.
Kindly issue a butracker entry and I will suppport.
VK Thank you. Will do. Might take me a couple weeks.
Why?
VK Have to get through this conversion first. (These emails are the
VK least of my urgent worries, because on my computer, I can click on
VK that menu and open them in Firefox really fast.)
OK, just port the BT entry here when you are ready.
VK For the rest of your email, it's hard for me to interpret. I take it
VK that The Bat! has been around for a long time, is still actively
VK developed--and that sometimes things get fixed, sometimes features
VK get enhanced and added, sometimes things don't get fixed, and
VK sometimes things get worse? And that a substantial group of you all
VK get by and are relatively content?
TF That is correct. I've been with the project for 10 years now, and
TheBat! is still work in progress. It is fun to watch it develop, and
frustrating when something you especially like suddenly doesn't work
any more. Most people stick with it anyway, helping the developers to
find the problem.
VK I think I'm going to jump for it. I finally figured out how to get
VK my emails back after quick search (without exiting the program),
VK and that seems to have pushed me over the line.
Good one!
VK Could you give me an example of something you especially like that
VK stopped working? Did it ever start working again?
Mails in Thai language (and apparantly Chinese, as was confirmed by
one user) don't display any more. It's goobledigook, but was fine
until 4.0.x. It has not been fixed yet. The BT entry is here:
