View Full Version : Preview Post Results in Post Data Duplication and Errors?

Hello,

I am using Internet Explorer 9. The following has occurred for Internet Explorer 8.

When I attempt to preview a post or reply with Latex data inside, all is usually okay. But, when I make a change to the Latex, then preview post for a second time, the Latex data does not completely change and results in Latex math. being present that should not be (I deleted it). Additionally, often enough the data in the post/reply will be duplicated. For example, after using preview post for the second time, the "1. State Problem, 2. ..." duplicates in the previewed post/reply and the post/reply itself.

What's going on?

This is a known bug with the LaTeX implementation of the site.

You should be able to refresh; clearing the cache of your browser also helps.

Oh, okay.

Yea, unforunately the refresh method does not seem to have any effect for me... But, I'll give it a few more tries.

Thanks!

Once you press preview, it will show the old code.

Then hit refresh and it should update.

Oh! Yes, I misunderstood. That makes sense.

Thanks!

The issue should be resolved once the server switches LaTeX engines...

Does the LaTeX engine cause

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

to be appended every time "Preview" is clicked, as well?

I was going to start my own thread, but the OP's question was exactly the same as mine.

That's another known bug. It doesn't have anything to do with LaTeX, so it's likely to still be there after the coming move to MathJax.

Hmm, I am not certain what you meant by appended, but, if you mean when Preview is selected the "1., 2., and 3." steps will be duplicated, but only in the edit box (for me). Also, I think I have noticed them being duplicated n amount of times for every time Preview is selected.
