Post body does not render outside of preview

+6
−1

A specific question that was just submitted, doesn't render its body except for when previewing the post during editing. It's not rendered on the question page, not on the comment page, nor is the post body provided as an excerpt on the posts list page. It's in the database, though, as it's available and loaded up when editing it, for both the author and other accounts.

The question was submitted from an instance of Brave, on Windows 11 24H2 Pro. Question where the bug resides: https://software.codidact.com/posts/293621

Another example: https://software.codidact.com/posts/293664 (Only part of the body is rendered)

What was the part missing in your second example?

Thanks for the second example.

You link to https://software.codidact.com/posts/293664 but this now shows correctly (at least for me). Was there something missing before the edit? Did you get a screenshot or could you describe which part was missing?

trichoplax‭ ah I forgot not to edit it. The image wasn't showing before I made the edits. (Even after ctrl+F5 and waiting for a while)

Thanks for the extra info. I've tested in development and that is the result of adding an image as the last step before pressing Save Post, so it's a separate bug from yours: Editor preview left outdated after adding content without the keyboard. I've linked to this bug from that one for reference. Unlike this one, that one can be worked around by clicking in the Body field again after adding the image, so that the image appears in the preview before pressing save. If you forget to do that, as you've seen, editing the post also makes the image appear.

In case the first example you mention in your post also relates to this other bug: did you make that post by pasting in text with a mouse rather than using the keyboard?

You should be able to do that - it's not a complaint. It just might not work as intended yet so it would be good to know what led to the bug so we know what to fix.

trichoplax‭ great, I was planning to open bug report for it, I'll add my screen recordings to it. I think the bug I saw in this second example was different though (wasn't only in preview, but also after saving) but maybe I misremember. I also I don't remember how I made the first post :(

The preview reflects the HTML that will be saved behind the scenes, so if an image is missing from the preview it will also be missing from the saved post (I've edited my bug report to reflect that). Thanks for the screen recordings.

Between your bug report here and my bug report there, I think all the cases are covered. Don't worry about not remembering how you made the first post. No one is expecting you to screen record everything you do just in case... What you've added is useful - thank you.

Also thanks for hiding the animated content in a <details> tag - that's much appreciated.
