Question

Does anyone know what could be causing the following? After edit and save of an %ACTION%, part of the containing topic's content is deleted.

This only seems to happen when the topic includes certain non alpha-numeric text such as another %ACTION% or %ACTIONSEARCH% or a verbatim tag or quote characters. It also seems that all the containing topic's content past the non alphanum chars is deleted.

WOOO HOOO!

Got it! I just CPAN'd the latest CGI.pm and the problem went away! The tip-off was the solution to the LocalSite.cfg NameFilter issue (BugInConfigFile). You better put that one someplace and make sure it gets some publicity.

Thanks Joshua; what rev of CGI did you have before? I use CGI 3.17. If have found in the past that 2.93 had problems, but that's the only known bad...
