HTML entities don’t work in chat

AI-generated summary

In a bug report titled ‘HTML entities don’t work in chat’, Jagster reported that HTML entities like µ, µ, and © render correctly on the forum but not in chat, suspecting a regression. j.jaffeux confirmed a fix was submitted via pull request #34591 and expected to merge the next day. After upgrading, Jagster still experienced issues and wondered if iPadOS or the Hub client was to blame. j.jaffeux verified the fix worked across Safari (Mac), iOS PWA, and the Hub, and suggested Jagster might not have received the latest commit yet. Jagster confirmed they had run the full launcher rebuild but were in the middle of upgrading Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04, so planned to retest afterward. j.jaffeux clarified the fix was merged only recently, so timing might have been off. Jagster noted they upgraded shortly before the merge but believed they had the commit, since the onebox indicated it was merged. After completing the Ubuntu upgrade and presumably a full Discourse rebuild, Jagster confirmed the issue was resolved, attributing the earlier failure to possibly upgrading too soon or an environmental factor. The fix is now confirmed working across platforms.

µ (µ) and µ (µ), or ©, works on forum, but not in chat — I’m quite sure those have worked earlier?

Just upgraded, but can’t get it working :thinking:

Could iPadOS or the Hub be the issue?

I just tried on safari mac, pwa iOS and the hub, all worked. Are you sure you have the commit in your update?

I’m never sure, but I did ./launcher bootstrap web_only && ./launcher destroy web_only && ./launcher start web_only so I would guess… Yes, I had :man_shrugging:

Anyway. I’m middle of ugrading Ubuntu from 22.04 to 24.04 so let’s see if something changes.

It depends when you did it, I merged the commit only recently.

Little bit earlier than what is the timestamp of my previous comment. But the onebox told it was merged, so I still would guess I got it.

But after Ububtu upgrading is finished I’ll do full upgrading, so we’ll see.

Yeah, now it works. Perhaps I did upgrading too soon, or something.

Anyway, back in business. Thanks!
