I knew that if you post too long message in chat, it will not be published completely.
But, it also has 2 serious problems that lead to mislead and confusion.
I posted test text:
Test of too long chat message bug: Every inch of wall space is covered by a bookcase. Each bookcase has six shelves, going almost to the ceiling. Some bookshelves are stacked to the brim with hardback books: science, maths, history, and everything else. Other shelves have two layers of paperback science fiction, with the back layer of books propped up on old tissue boxes or lengths of wood, so that you can see the back layer of books above the books in front. And it still isn’t enough. Books are overflowing onto the tables and the sofas and making little heaps under the windows.
pressed “enter”
and that what I see:
user thinks that everything is OK
but others see that:
You have to refresh page to see what you really posted. Few know about it.
But, its not just cuts end of message, it cuts MIDDLE of it. So message may start to have sense that user not intended to write and not even know that that happened.
SO:
- user have to see what he really posted without refreshing the page
- middle of message should never disappear, end should (or there should be message “text too long”)
Someone posted question in Russian chat 10 hours ago, end of message not exists instead of middle, but its still terrible, they are not aware of it and will not get complete answer.
