Spoiler tag duplication: if someone edits their post and you reply

harrrrrry

It also happens if you put a spoiler in a new reply and edit your own reply. That situation is easier to create and reproduce, but it's very likely the same problem. Refreshing the screen after posting fixes the problem, but it looks confusing in the meantime.

But that problem is already known, so I'd expect it to be solved in due course.

mrjeeves Another problem with spoilers, they don't appear at all on BAs.

mrjeeves It's also fairly outlandish situation

Only some nerds, mentioning no names, use spoiler tags! 😃

Doh!

I tend to use them in very long answers and to hide info specifically for certain devices.

A Quicktime file? Not even a .mov??

Here's a conversion for normal people 😛

mrjeeves Oops, I forgot some people use wInDoWs 😆

I tried converting it to a gif but didn't seem to work for me, thanks though 🙂

That's very bad.

@alex_w Could you look into this as it affects H&S badly!

mrjeeves And if the page is then refreshed, the extra spoilers are no longer present. It's a known issue, but as the issue is temporary (only exists until the page is refreshed, either by F5 or by navigating to another page and back again) it's not (yet) a high priority.

benjamin567 That's more of a concern - I'll raise it with the team, as it looks like a simple CSS issue that will be easy to fix.

alex_w it looks like a simple CSS issue that will be easy to fix.

It does indeed. I've added some local css as a test:

.Spoiler { display: block !important; }

which reinstates the Click to Reveal on that BA example, which when clicked, properly expands too:

mrjeeves

harrrrrry it doesn't properly expand!

There seems to be extra margin on the bottom of the bottom.

Nevermind, that seems to be caused by your strange use of Arial 😛

On another note, the better option is just to remove this CSS rule from the stylings:

.DiscussionPage .PostStream .PostStream-item .Post .item-bestAnswerPost .Post-body .Spoiler {
    display: none;
}
