Censored Words in Onebox Preview Inconsistency
Users reported an inconsistency between the preview panel and the actual post when composing a topic with censored words in a onebox. Southpaw shared an example where phone numbers were displayed after posting, despite being hidden in the preview. sam agreed that this was a bug and inconsistent behavior should be fixed. A fix was merged to make the preview and actual post consistent, as confirmed by nbianca. However, censoring onebox contents remains a more complex issue to be investigated.
Setting aside the question of whether censored words should be censored if they are content displayed in a onebox, I’m thinking it might be a bug that there’s a difference between what is shown in the preview panel while composing a topic, and what then displays once the topic is posted.
I was a bit surprised to see my phone numbers displayed after the preview led me to believe they’d be hidden.
Oh … this is such a tricky bug. Agree 100% we should not have inconsistent behavior here.
Hello,
We merged a fix to make the preview and actual post consistent. I am investigating the possibility of censoring Onebox contents, but as Sam stated before, that is a much more trickier problem.
