Post page cut off on publish

Open y6nH opened this issue 6 years ago • 13 comments

This is a weird one.

I have been writing this post on fediverse.blog.

When I saved the draft or published it in its earlier form, the page got cut off part-way through. Not just the post content, the HTML file just ended half way through a word, without any closing tags. This was repeatable and consistent behaviour, in Firefox and Chrome. The full text was still there in the edit view.

The post would publish normally if I removed the banner image, or changed the title. If I edit this post and change the title to the original "Alpha, Beta, Gamma: Trying out Wendy Carlos's tunings", it happens again.

I have reproduced the issue in a draft post with a similar title, a different image and lorem ipsum content.

  • Plume version: 0.2.0
  • Operating system: Windows 10 and Linux Mint
  • Web Browser: Firefox 67 and Chrome 73

Adding to this, I returned to the post today. Fediverse.blog has been updated to 0.3.0, and the published version (which was OK when I left it) got cut off again in the process.

I don't have the issue on the article you mentioned, but I do have it on another one. Maybe it only happen for article wrote by self?

I fixed my article by removing the header image, so it's back to full length. I still have a draft of a broken article, if anyone needs it.

I no longer have this issue on the article I linked, do you still have it?

No, it looks as if this is fixed. Fediverse.blog still says it's 0.3.0, so I don't know what changed.

Adding to this: With 0.3.0 and viewing in Firefox Developer Edition on macOS Catalina, if my published article has a cover image, it gets cut off towards the bottom; it displays fine in Chrome, however.

perhaps this is a bug in Firefox that we should submit to https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/ ?

I agree that's a good idea, and I think it's worth tracking down what part of the Plume source interacts with Firefox this way before doing so

I doubt this is a Firefox bug. For one thing, I saw it in Chrome too, and for another, the actual server response is truncated, not just the display of it in the browser. I know that doesn't 100% rule out a browser bug, but I'm not able to reproduce it any more.

I am able to consistently reproduce at https://write.allgood.mx/~/ItsAllgoodSerra/practical-cryptography-for-real-people by adding one of the two media images I have uploaded to my instance as an illustration. Adding an illustration causes a caught off in Firefox Developer Edition but not Chrome, both on macOS Catalina.

I'm pretty sure this come from rocket_csrf (which we manage), but I've not been able to reproduce reliably to see what is wrong with it. @serra-allgood the link you provide seems to require some authentication against Yunohost :confused:

Ah, sorry, I killed my plume instance not thinking about this thread :(

The post text is still available from Google cache, if anybody wants to search for clues. I noticed that both Serra's and my articles have a : in the title, though that isn't helping me reproduce it.
