Captions are displayed multiple times if you edit them

  • Please see https://www.reinke.re

    I use two captions on each slide of the show. While moving them exactly into the spots I want them to have I had to use the “Style and Position” dialogue a couple of times.

    I noticed two things:

    1. CNHK slider automatically decreases X and Y position of the captions by 1 everytime I use the “Style and Position” dialogue. E.g., if you enter positions “100” (horizontal distance from left border of slide) and “100” (vertical distance from top of slide), the press “Apply changes” and then directly return into the “Style and Position” diaglue, the position will be 99, 99.

    2. Furthermore, the system seems to store new instances of edited captions whenever I use the “Style and Position” dialogue” and finish with “Apply changes”.

    You can see that on https://www.reinke.re directly! There is huge pile of captions! However, in the list of captions on the slide, this pile does not appear! There you only have two captions!

    Can you look into this, please?

    In fact, I recently noticed the 1px move for of the styling editor recently. I just didn’t find time to fix it until now.

    But I don’t really understand the second point. Where is the huge pile of captions? In the url you gave, there is exactly two captions per slides in the code of the page.

    I’m sorry, I should have made a screenshot… I didn’t have time to let it sit around there. Meanwhile I’ve fixed it.

    I just can ask you to look if you find a piece of PHP which is called during editing an already existing caption which causes the modified caption to be stored as a totally new caption instance — and not to overwrite the already existing one.

    That’s exactly what happened.

    What I did in order to bypass this is:

    1. I inserted a new slide “foo” into the slider. On that very slide I created my caption and slowly moved it into place (not using drag and drop but the “Style and position” dialogue).

    2. I had to use the dialogue for say 10 times or so.

    3. This caused for some reason that the caption was on the display for 10 times. In the “Captions” section it was still there only once!

    4. I noted (took down in some editor) the exact position and height and width of the caption as well as the HTML source code of its content.

    5. I went to the slide I really wanted to have the caption on and entered it (i.e., manually entered position, HTML source code, height and width).

    6. I deleted the “foo” slide.

    So maybe if you find the time to re-state this bug, you may want to create 2 captions on the slide, set the backgrounds of them to transparent 0.5 or so and then use the “Style and Position dialogue for 10 times or so.

    Then it should be possible that you can reproduse this…

    Ok. I will try to reproduce that. Can you tell me what browser are you using. All those editors makes intensive use of javascript, so there is the possibility of a slightly different behavior on different browser.

    I tested the behaviour with Chrome 47.0.2526.106 on my desktop, Chrome on my Android mobile phone and Safari on a friend’s IPhone 5.

    And Internet Explorer 8.

    Hi there. I fixed the one pixel gap of the style editor. But I can’t reproduce the other error. Can you check if there is any error in the javascript console when this bug happens?
