editor is smashing words together

  • Unknown's avatar

    The new editor keeps smashing my words together. I posted it and it’s right. Then I go back and look at it and there’s a dozen or more words that have been combined with other words and the spaces that’s separate my words are eliminated. Help!

  • Howdy –

    Thanks so much for getting in touch! This sounds like it has been quite frustrating.

    Which post can I look at to find an example of the word-smashing? Please share the title or the link.

    It would also be super helpful if you can provide a few more pieces of information so we can try and replicate the behavior on our end.

    – browser version
    – does it happen in a different browser
    – or if you’re using the app, which type andversion
    – steps to take to produce the word-smashing
    – have you noticed a pattern or something that triggers that action

    Thanks so much :)

    For now, you can return to using the classic editor. I hope that can limit some frustrations you’ve experienced. Just click on the ... in the upper right hand corner of the post editing screen. A menu will pop up, look to the bottom, switch to classic editor.

    Thank you for your note!

    It happened in my last two posts: discernment and discretion: a call to action for young people and Donor Advised Fund: impact on the charity you love. I use Firefox and an iPhone 7 with the most updated app. It happened in both of them. In fact, in the Donor Advised Fund article I saw it on Firefox and fixed it on my phone. For the last article, the discernment post, there were over a dozen incidents. In that case I waited until I was back at my computer and did it through Firefox.

    Thank you for offering the solution of the old editor, which was what I used until it seemed like it was no longer available. I much prefer that version anyway.

    I appreciate your support, and your platform!
