Hi, Ernie
Found another bug while I was editing my dictionary deck!
(I just love doing the detective work, lol)
So, here it is:
Step 1: Go to any deck, create a new card by clicking on the “add” button
Step2: Now, you’re in the “card edit” screen, so go into the side 1 and type in the following text.
believing that people are only interested in themselves and are not sincere
Step3: After typing in the above text, go back to the card edit screen (Please hold your iPhone vertically, not horizontally.)
Step4: You will see, in this “card edit” screen, that there’s actually a suspension points, the “…”, at the end of the sentence that you just typed in. (By the way, that sentence is actually the definition for the word “cynical” in my dictionary deck.) So, when you hold the phone vertically, it goes like this "believing that people are only interested in themselves and are not si..."
So, to my understanding, the suspension points “…” is usually “triggered” when you type in too much content in one side of the card, right?
Well in the above case, the content contains only 12 words, so I’m wondering what might actually trigger that suspension points? Maybe it just doesn’t have anything to do with the length of the text you put in there, does it?
And here’s another example, type/copy-paste the following text into any side of the new card you just created:
2. School admissions are not under/ within our jurisdiction.
Again, the above sentence has only 8 words, but the in “card edit” screen, it’s followed by a “…” as well.
(By the way, I uploaded a deck called “systembug” which has the above two examples, you can download it and see for yourself.)
Although this is not much of a bug, but it bothers me because I can’t figure out why sometimes there’s a “…” popped up, and sometimes not. I mean, what’s the possible explanation for this?
And what interests me more is that, for instance, if you delete any single word from the above sentences in the examples that I gave you, then the “problem” would be resolved, so you don’t see the suspension points any more in the card edit screen.
A bit odd, isn’t it?
(Also, I’m using a 3GS, I don’t know if the same thing would happen to an iPhone 4)
Thanks,
Sagitta
