Setting of backup flags not possible on mobile browsers

Open berti34 opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

I think it is a bug: when I try to place a "Backup flag" like "--insecure-tls" in the settings of a plan or repository the submit is not possible. It seems that the field doesn't accept --... (double dash) parameters.

Hmm, I'm not able to reproduce this. What backrest version are you running? As an aside in your screenshot that looks a bit like an em-dash rather than a double dash --

You are right, I cannot reproduce it on my desktop browsers too, but on mobile browsers on my iPhone. The mobile browser changes the double dash to em-dash automatically. That's the problem. Sorry for confusing - and my english. Is it possible to ignore/stop the autocorrection in the html form?

Maybe this helps a bit: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2015/Jun/15/Turn-off-HTML-Input-Auto-Fixups-for-Mobile-Devices https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-disable-browser-autocomplete-on-the-web-form-field-input-tag

This seems to be iOS related: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/numbers-iphone/tane7f9690fb/ios I have the same issue on any site.

In version 1.7.0 the behaviour keeps going wrong.

Maybe backrest can be able to accept the wrong character and replace it internally before saving the configuration? With a warning, not as blocking error?
