I’d like to know if I should file a bug, or if this is just something in my config. In particular, I’d be grateful for confirmation about what I’m seeing.

In Raccoon, in this post, I see only the first paragraph of the post. If I “view raw,” I can see the entire post text; it also shows up correctly in Thunder, and in the web interface.

I don’t see a way to expand the post, and I’m not sure if it’s only this post or if it’s happening a lot and I just haven’t noticed, because the only way to detect missing content is through the “view raw” function.

Is this a setting, or a bug? I

  • Thanks! And I’m glad someone has taken it on.

    However: far, far worse is the frequency with which the recent versions of the app crashes in the middle of creating posts. I switched off of Racoon after this happening three times; then I re-installed the beta that was released yesterday (?) and lost another.

    Bugs are going to happen; that’s fine. But I’d far rather a focus on comment stability than anything else. It wouldn’t be so bad if there are an autosave, since there isn’t, it’s a deal-breaker.

    Maybe wrap the entire compose mechanism in a broad-spectrum try-catch and at least dump the compose area text to the clipboard or something.

      Fix for the issue with quotes here.

      As for the crashes, unfortunately, the app has no tracking library which is good for privacy but terrible for debugging because anonymous data would help a lot! Do you remember whether it happens after some specific pattern, eg. after you insert an image from the gallery or anything like that?
