Example md file for displaced markdown with composed letters
*** Bug 463032 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 461549 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** There seem to be a couple of bug reports for composed letters (e.g. German umlauts, or French composed letters). Since all the bug reports have been closed, I tried to test again. - build ghostwriter from source (as of 2023.04.20). - download and open the example file, attached to this bug Result: The issue seems not to be fixed - at least in my build. :-/ (maybe the issue is caused by one of the dependencies, outside ghostwriter - but I didn't find a hint on what is responsible for the issue) Therefore, I reopen the issue. Please feel free to comment and close, if I miss something. For a very quick test, I paste a part of the example file, here: Issues when highlighting (bold/ italic) text that contains Umlauts or accents: *Überschrift* **Überschrift** <- first word should be italic, the second should be bold *ä* *ö* *ü* *ß* *á* *â* *à* <- all italic **ä** **ö** **ü** **ß** **á** **â** **à** <- all bold **aä** **aäa** **dö** should_be_normal **üadfafasd** <- mix bold and normal text **äa** **aäa** **äa** **öfö** **üadfafasd** <- all bold? **aäa** **äa** **aäa** **öfö** **üadfafasd** <- all bold, including the markup? **Whateverö** normal text **final word** <- the first word in the line should be bold **Whateverö** normal text **öfinal word** <- bold normal bold There seem to be a couple of bug reports for composed letters (e.g. German umlauts, or French composed letters).

I was indeed able to reproduce this. It appears the bug only occurs when the umlaut is at the front or end of the marked up text (i.e., just after the first '*' or before the last '*'). Thanks for the info! (In reply to megan.conkle from comment #6) > My apologies. I was indeed able to reproduce this.

Thanks for looking into this! Yes, you are right. I realize only now, that some of the cases, that I have originally reported have indeed already been fixed. This is, why some of the problems, illustrated in my original screenshots, are not present any more! Created attachment 164798 [details]
Screenshot - illustration of issue - update
Since some of the cases are fixed, I tried to gather more cases, where the issue still occurs. The new screenshot illustrates the remaining issues.

I checked my examples, provided in my last post: Independent of diacritics the actual text is set in bold or italics correctly. Therefore, as the original reporter, I recommend closing this issue. Whoever fixed this, thank you very much. There are (related?) issues with lowlighting/greylighting the actual markup (e.g. **) in the md editor. The issues are different when diacritics are involved. I will search/open a new issue and add an example file. |
Created attachment 153552 [details] Screenshot issue missplaced markdown with composed letters in gw SUMMARY In some cases, the markup rendering seems to be displaced, when using composed Letters (e.g. German Umlauts) in a paragraph. The issue seems only to appear in a paragraph that follows after a newline. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Write a few letters/ word and hit enter to go to a new line 2. In the new line, write some words, using Markdown. e.g. in bold or in italic. 3. Type a composed letter, e.g. ä or é in this paragraph. OBSERVED RESULT The word in markdown (step 2) are not rendered correctly. It seems that the grey colour is applied one letter too late. EXPECTED RESULT Typing composed letters should not affect the rendering of Markdown.
