Unresponsive pages bug

Open twohue opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

So, I tried this extension out, and encountered a problem where sites became unresponsive and hung. After some testing, I was able to resolve what the cause of the issue was:

With my preferred name, I don't really have a middle name. Just a first and last, so I left the middle name field empty for this.

With deadnames, I entered my full deadname, including the middle name, which is something I went by far more commonly than my first name.

Apparently, that was what caused the issue. The plugin was finding instances where my middle and last deadname were found, and trying to replace those with the corresponding preferred name values, but because the middle name field was left empty, it was hanging up.

Adding a preferred middle name resolved the issue.

This may be something to code for - Check to see if all of the corresponding fields are input. If a middle name exists for a deadname variant, then a middle name for preferred should become required.
