  • 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:

    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.

    So you won't be able to reproduce this issue with fseditor.js (using quoted text) unless you enable this option.

    It looks like at least part of the issue is that the spaces aren't being saved... possibly getting eaten by word wrapping. From the first screenshot, it looks like the line should be ^A1\<many spaces\>^AN\\r\\n and all of the lines should end with \<spaces\>^AN

    So more than one issue here I think.
