  • fseditor doesn't save solid background attributes correctly

    From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sat May 3 01:00:17 2025
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/921

    For example, the message as being edited:

    ![Screenshot_2025-05-03_12.55.24_AM](https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/uploads/525b7b573d7a96c31de1a0dbc4ddd130/Screenshot_2025-05-03_12.55.24_AM.png)

    and then after saved and viewing:

    ![Screenshot_2025-05-03_12.58.15_AM](https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/uploads/d5786bf5d9cc70bddea4f2badd4bd56e/Screenshot_2025-05-03_12.58.15_AM.png)

    So it looks like it needs a Ctrl-AN before the CRLF (rather than after) for each line in the saved text:

  • From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab note in main/sbbs on Thu May 8 18:25:27 2025
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/921#note_7214

    BTW, Synchronet now by default, strips Ctrl-A codes from from the message text used to create the QUOTES.TXT file *unless* the (new) "Retain Ctrl-A Codes in Quotes" option is set to "Yes" in SCFG->External Programs->Message Editors->....

    So you won't be able to reproduce this issue with fseditor.js unless you enable this option.
