ProSilver style's "Select All" stopped working

Post by Blue »

When using the prosilver as the board syle in the PB Forum, the code sections come with a clickable element named "Select All".
As the name clearly says, it allows selecting the entirety of the content of the code box.
Rather it used to.
Because it no longer works : it now simply jumps to the top of the current page.
It used to work flawlessly, and it was so practical

Addendum : a code box just to quickly see what's happening :

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit
Define a, m, d
a = 2017
m = 5
d = 7
Has anybody else experienced this unexpected behaviour ?
Does anyone know what to do about it ?

My computer is running Windows 10x64, version 1703, named "Windows Creator's Edition" by Microsoft; this change of behaviour may be related to the OS, as I don't recall encountering this problem before I upgraded my system to version 1703, the very latest version of Windows.

A quick check on my Android smartphone shows the feature working as expected on both Chrome and the stock browser.

Good point, TI.
I'll try it on my iPad right now

Update
iPad : does not work (but I think that never worked on the iPad anyway)
Android phone : does not work. Behaves the same way as on my computer (jumps to the top of the page)

Precision : all tried on Chrome browser.

Question to TI : if you don't mind, what smartphone and version of Android ?
I'm using a Samsung A5 (2017) with Android 6.1

Thanks for that feedback, juror.
With your setup being the same as mine, I have little choice but to conclude that whatever is not working is on my end. And since I'm seeing the same incorrect action with Edge and Chrome in Windows, with Chrome on Android 6.xx, and no action whatsoever with Safari and Chrome on the iPad, i can also only conclude that it has to be some maladjusted parameter in my user preferences for the forum. :shock:

But I'll be darned if I know what it is... :(

Just tried it on Win7x86 + FireFox 54.0
Select All makes the page 'jump up' and the code is not selected.

......now back to sub silver plus :)

Win 10 x64 1703 using ProSilver style Select All works on Edge and IE 11, but not Firefox version 54 or Chrome version 58.0.3029.

It's still broken ...

The only browser where it's working correctly is the old IE11, in Firefox, Chrome and the new Edge it's not working :(

Yeah - tried it again here. Really don't like the layout compared to subSilverplus though, so prepared to sacrifice a handy select feature in favour of an interface that's easier to navigate (and look at).

Mac OSX: Has always worked for me and still does.

Windows 10: Hasn't worked for a long time on all my PCs. Chrome and Edge browsers used.

Glad to read that it wasn’t all in my imagination :shock: , as I feared after the first few feedbacks. :P
