Double End of line

Status	New
Description	If in single line mode if there is a new line after the end of the main contents. Occurred when tagging template with {{uncategorized}}. Dispenser 20:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
To duplicate:	Rule 1: replace="[^\r\n]*" with="" regex="true" Rule 2: replace="$" with="<noinclude>{{Uncategorized template|{{subst:DATE}}}}</noinclude>" regex="true" singlline="true"
Operating system	Windows XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown
AWB version	3.9.0.0
Workaround	Change "$" to "(\S)\s*$" and add $1 to the beginning of the replacement
Fixed in version	Unknown

Is it still there in 3.9.3, taking in account absence of \r's? MaxSem 10:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and I've come up with a better method of duplication, two rules both advanced regex in singleline mode, replace 1: $ → \n\n\n, replace 2: $ → EoF (tested on Template:DOClink). Another work around is to remove trailing white space with \s*$ → [empty] —Dispenser 18:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

\r bug in regex mode

Status	Unknown
Description	Diff is incorrect with \r in regex mode. Dispenser 20:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
To duplicate:	advanced regex: \n → \r\n
Operating system	XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown
AWB version	SVN
Workaround	None
Fixed in version	Unknown

AWB now use Unix line ends for F&R, therefore you don't need to use \r anywhere anymore.

PS: should we filter \r out then? MaxSem 20:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It should work like the diffs in Wikipedia, probably. So \r\n becomes \n and \r\r\n becomes \n\n. —Dispenser 02:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Filtering isn't a good idea if your sending it to the server, since \r by its self is interpreted as a newline, so ideally properly converting for the diff view. —Dispenser 18:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

SVN 1399 seem to break wikidiff if there is a new line added. 1396 works fine. —Dispenser 19:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Thats weird. No changes related to that have been made... Reedy Boy 20:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[1] (regex find \n\n(={1,4})zobacz też(={1,4})\n regex replace \n\n$1Zobacz też$1\n, this \n doesn't work well and breake articles, after the change \r\n -> \n AWB added me lot of reduntand lines, which I must now erase by hand (I saw a bolds on diff at the end of the lines but I thought that were a redundant spaces removed, but it were the lines addition!) --84.234.42.68 20:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

as I now discovered is has sth to do with "case sensitive" unchecked - that's a bug I think, look like then it assumes the \n as a string, but don't know why "case sensitive" applies to regex anyway --84.234.42.68 20:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Its incase you dont want to have to do all the things in upper and lower case - ie Category: [Cc][Aa][Tt][Ee][Gg][Oo][Rr][Yy], you do it however, and case insensitive will match them all Reedy Boy 20:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

but "CaseSensitive" affect \n somehow and I think that's the main problem, look at the regex I posted and the ABW behavior in the screen --84.234.42.68 20:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

why does that put the string "\n" in the article? find: ([^=]) +\n replace: $1\n --84.234.42.68 20:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

please agree or disagree, am I doing something wrong in that regex for removing redundant spaces from the end of the line?, because I had to stop editing for that reason --84.234.42.68 23:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[2]] how to get this to work? it was OK when \r\n was used --84.234.42.68 13:40, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Disambig tab weirdness

Status	New
Description	After the links have been loaded in the disambig tab, when I move my mouse over the box containing the links the text in the box goes white and you can't see any text. Reappears if I click in the 'Link to disambiguate box'. Also reappears if I click in the box itself, but disappears if I move my cursor out of the box and stays disappeared when I move my cursor back in. If I then highlight some, those particular ones reappear, but disappear again if I move my cursor out of the box again. I hope that makes sense! mattbr 19:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Verified that this bug exists in Vista. Looks like it's up to me to fix it, and I have no freakin' idea what's causing it. —METS501 (talk) 02:24, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Thats what we thought. Ie there is no event fired (well, no dev coded event)) when there is mousehover... Maybe just change the control for a listbox? Reedy Boy 12:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit box is there for a reason - before starting disambiguating, you'll have to change all links to their normal case, because they're loaded with first letter always uppercase. MaxSem 12:17, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, ok. I've never actually used it... Reedy Boy 12:26, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I've just been testing it just now. Most of the time it does work, there just seems to be a few cases where it doesnt always update properly... Reedy Boy 14:47, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Tried to improve this a bit... But still not much better... Reedy Boy 16:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

It seems, when its polling for the username, to check what it is, its still getting the old username... And therefore doesnt always update... Need to have a look at the way its doing it... And potentially move it around or something Reedy Boy 14:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Auto checkbox switches itself off

Status	New

Maybe, i think it may be set to turn off/uncheck if there is problems... Reedy Boy 13:43, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually... I dont think it is... Reedy Boy 22:54, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

It's always been like this. I agree it should stay on. You also can't save auto on in the settings file. This mean every time you get logged out, when you log back, you must re-check the box, and if you don't, the same thing that happens to Kingboyk happens to me. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 03:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

This is, nonetheless, a useful safeguard sometimes. Rich Farmbrough, 12:50 21 July 2007 (GMT).

Useful safeguard against what exactly? I agree that it's a setting which should be turned on by the operator and not saved in the xml,

That's what I thought you meant. Rich Farmbrough, 07:44 11 August 2007 (GMT).

but if it's turned off by AWB just because the connection was lost I'm not sure what's gained. Having a bad connection doesn't make my bot go wild, and even if in fact my bot does go wild it's easily shut down by an admin blocking it or somebody replacing my talk page redirect with a message. --kingboyk 14:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Why shouldn't it be saved in the xml file? Now that we have profiles, you can associate one that always has "auto on" with your bot account only. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 16:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I guess. The concept has always been this is a feature you must turn on, once you're happy with your settings. I wouldn't argue against becoming a little more liberal in that regard (current implementation can be a bit of a pain) but others might. --kingboyk 21:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Double Clicking typo to undo the suggested change

Status	New
Description	When there is more than one word is highlighted in yellow on a line in AWB, and one of the highlighted is not a typo (i.e Cristian vs Christian both are correct but AWB recognizes it as a typo) when the non-typo is double clicked, it removes everything in that yellow box instead of the specified word, maybe have it where it only removes the highlight because more than one typo could exists on a line or paragraph dputig07 00:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Try shrinking the window down when there is something in the web control. Does that show them? As both should only be shown when needed to be Reedy Boy 20:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

I tried to change window size, use minimized/maximized windows, scroll bars don't appear at all. But they definitely should, since an article I load is quite large and there is text behind the panel. Even when the panel is hidden (using left down arrow) the text is large enough, it doesn't fit the window but there are no scroll bars :( --213.170.112.173 21:22, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Seems rather weird.. Potentially not AWB. Can you take a screenshot of AWB when you expect it should be showing the scroll bars? Reedy Boy 21:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:AWB4120 noscrollbars 1.PNG Any idea of the reason for this weird behaviour? --213.170.112.173 20:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The GUI is screwed a bit it seems... Hmmmm Reedy Boy 21:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Anyway, it seems to be this AWB version's problem, since older AWB versions and other apps look fine. --213.170.112.173 21:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thats interesting... That points to the culprit then... We had a user commited fix to fix a GUI problem they were having with other versions since v4... Looks fine for us... Seems it may have caused you problems! Reedy Boy 21:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Detecting admin status

Status	New
Description	On en.wb (possibly others), admin status isn't detected (or something). Yes, I'm an admin there. I can click the delete button on the start tab, and my deletion summary is placed in the box, but clicking delete to confirm does nothing. In the status bar, the word "Protected" appears - the page isn't protected, so I don't know what that means.

– Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 02:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Its either it isnt being detected.. Or the delete is broken... Reedy Boy 16:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

The protected appears on en.wp too. I too dont know what it means, but i know the delete works here on en.wp [3] Reedy Boy 16:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

The question is, does it actually delete the page? Reedy Boy 16:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

No, the page wasn't deleted. I tried several different pages, none of which were protected. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 20:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Whats it show in the web browser after its finished all the loading? It should go through automated motions of deleting - Like you would do if doing it manually. Can you watch it go through and see what the browser says? (Im a bit stuck as i only have admin here on en.wp) Reedy Boy 20:38, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the upper section shows the delete page with the summary I entered in the dialog box. So I'm supposed to click Delete. The button looks like it's getting pushed. Only nothing happens. Click again and again - nothing. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 21:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Detecting bot status is spotty too. Often (this is a good thing if it's a bug - please don't fix it) the bot tab is enabled when using it though a non-bot account. However, less often (this is a problem) it will be disabled when using it through a bot-flagged account. Workaround = reinitialize AWB and hope it changes its mind the next time. Any progress towards a fix? – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 01:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone else on your project experience similar problems? Which browser do you use for general editing? Do you edit through some kind of proxy? MaxSem 17:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Nobody else uses AWB. I normally use Firefox, but I have IE7 installed and functional. Using IE I can delete normally. I don't edit through a proxy (so far as I know). – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 01:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Still buggy after updating. 1st try today gave me 3 errors. 2nd try gave me bot=false. 3rd try gave me bot=true admin=true (admin=true is wrong for that account - it doesn't actually yield admin buttons though.) – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 00:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Was this caused by clicking login without having anything selected...? Reedy Boy 11:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

No... I created a list before logging in, then went File>Profiles>account>login and it gave me this (I'm pretty sure). – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 01:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

It doesnt seem duplicatable just by clicking on the form - If nothings selected, most of them aint enabled.. Its got to be from something such as the log uploading.

Any chance of enlightening us to how you got the error? Reedy Boy 13:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure. When I start IRCMonitor, I get "Method not found:'Void Wiki functions.Updater..ctor()'. Button Details gives:'See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Button Continue enters IRCMonitor. From its menu File, Profiles, button "Login as selected" gives the first message formatted as an email with subject and content. Lantonov 13:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Removed bits of it - Not needed. Just the method =) Reedy Boy 16:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The way to supress the Just In Time debugger messages:

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced. Make sure 'Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)' and

The other error, i'll look into. If you could let us know if the above sorts one part of your error

The two debugging boxes in IE were checked already. The JIT error persists with boxes checked. Lantonov 06:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

And you have got the .NET framework installed? Reedy Boy 12:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Installed .NET framework before using AWB. It didn't want to start without it. I suspect something is wrong in my settings file: Default.xml. If I have a good settings file, maybe the problem will disappear. Lantonov 12:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

We are investigating this. You can use AWB, but you cant do any diff's atm. If you select the general menu, and then change "On load: Show changes" to one of the other options.. You can edit, just not see any diff's Reedy Boy 22:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Just FYI - I get this personally too. Just its going to teh wikidiff module.. Reedy Boy 23:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Thing is, I'm trying to append text, a Newsletter for a Wikiproject I'm part of, and it just shows up when I try to edit at all. ✗iℎi✗(talk) 01:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Adding a heart-felt plea for a quick fix to this one. AWB forced me to update from 4.1.2.0 this morning. Without being able to see the changes, I can't use any of the auto cleanup stuff (because I don't know what it's changing). This eliminates about 80% of the usefulness of AWB to me. :(--Fabrictramp 17:21, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Strong agree - without being able to see the diffs, this has knocked out my main use for AWB of skimming through new accounts' contributions & tagging/typo fixing/wikifying to try to prevent their good faith contribs being prodded. Even if it means going back to an earlier version of the software I'd urge a quick fix to this. — iridescent 17:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The forced upgrade was to fix this ² issue... The cause of the problem relates to teh C++ Wikidiff Module... Nothings changed with it, so why its started this, we're not sure Reedy Boy 18:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Can we go back to the old version, at least temporary, until there's a fix? This pretty much broke AWB for me. Rocket000 22:43, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

We could try.. Whats anyone else think? The reason for the forced upgrade was to fix this ² issue causing quite a lot of problems. Nothings changed with the related code to teh wikidiff, so why this is an issue, is quite weird. Reedy Boy 11:54, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I would say yes. I don't appear to be able to use AWB for disambiguation at all in its current state. -- SteinbDJ · talk · contributions 14:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Please use the older version until this issue is fixed. Jogers (talk) 15:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, 4.1.2.0 isn't enabled and 4.1.3.0 isn't usable (for me) because of edit box problems. Any chance 4.1.2.0 can be re-enabled?--Fabrictramp 16:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I temporarily re-enabled 4.1.2.0 too. Jogers (talk) 18:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

You're my new favorite person. :) Thanks!--Fabrictramp 18:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone who experience this problem tell if it also happens in the SVN version? Jogers (talk) 19:05, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Per your talk, yes... And other SVN versions i've already tried... Reedy Boy 19:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyone with this issue, whoes gone back to an older version, has this solved it for you? Reedy Boy 19:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes! 4.1.3.0 works for me. Thanks for re-enabling it and good luck with fixing teh other bugs :) Rocket000 22:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

4.1.2.0 solved it for me. :) (Didn't try 4.1.3.0 because of the edit box stuff) --Fabrictramp 22:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Buggar... Nothing works for me... Reedy Boy 22:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Excuse the newbie questions, but (1) how do I get the previous version?, (2) How do I replace the current version with the previous version?, and (3) How do I stop the updater from automagically trying to update the previous version to the current version? Regards—G716 <^T·_C> 21:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

1) Downloads - [4] 2), Unzip and paste, 3) Remove the updater? Its a known/fixed bug in the older versions, just manually close it Reedy Boy 21:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Presumably cause its linking back to itself.. Probably doesnt cater for these cases, and therefore didnt embolden. Reedy Boy 13:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

In other cases (here one but without the branckets), I've seen AWB fixing it. It's a common mistake people to put [[]] instead of bold letters and AWB was working fine with that. -- Magioladitis 14:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I also encountered this error, only in English:

Message: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\bin\AutoWikiBrowser\temp\Plugins\CFD\CFD.dll'

The installer creates a Plugins\CFD\CFD.dll and a temp\Plugins\CFD.dll, but no temp\Plugins\CFD\CFD.dll. There was a status window that seemed to be copying some of these files, but it appeared to halt after this error. I just manually copied the file from Plugins\CFD into the main AWB directory, and AWB now seems to be working. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. MaxSem seems to have packaged it in the wrong place, hence the exception when trying to copy the CFD.dll. Nothing can be done till the next release, where it will be in the right place! Also, already archived this, so marking as dupe Reedy Boy 19:34, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Complete standstill

I have not been able to use AWB since the update to 1.3.4.0. The login gets hung up forever. Also the same "only with monobook" message appears even though my settings are set to monobook (which I really wish would accommodate other skins, now it doesn't even matter)

What is up?? Pontiff Greg Bard 23:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
