Gary in The Lounge[^] is all there, but it is about 4 screens wide.
I haven't gone spelunking in the CSS; I'll leave that to someone with a map and compass.
If it matters, FF 88.0.1/Ubuntu 20.04LTS.

Cheers,

It's OK for me:

Chrome Version 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit), maximized, landscape, 100% zoom / 50% zoom (the same, I used that to fit the whole message in one clip), Win 10 20H2 OS Build 19042.985.

Hmmm it's all good now. Maybe a cache/update hiccup? I didn't try ctrl-F5 originally.

The word "Multicart" is a link, but doesn't but highlighted so it's only noticeable if you hover the mouse over it. As you can see it also doesn't appear in the detection details summary.

I've killed it to prevent others letting it through, but hopefully that should be enough to duplicate teh problem ...

maybe has the highlighter a problem with the new code snippets?

Probably, but either the HTML they enter should be encoded so we can see it, or the highlighter needs to be engaged. Otherwise we have no idea there is a link unless we search really carefully for something not listed in the details ...

Thinking about it, @Chris-Maunder can you delete / sanitise this thread when you have enough details? No point in giving the bad guys a heads up ... I should have thought of that before I posted it. Blush | :O

Mathew has the capability to delete it - so either he's happy to leave it while it's being fixed, or he still needs it.

It appears that all new members of CodeProject are in the USA, according to their home pages. Is there something preventing them selecting their home country when they create a new account?

Looking at the accounts opened today (9th of May) there are several that did changed the country - so it seems to be possible...
Looking at the others - most of them seems like generated by some code, not human made. That may explain why the country is the default...

I was referring to all the new accounts created to post in QA. I assume it is just laziness (like some of the questions) but there may have been some other reason.

C++

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

It wasn't like this before, and I'll have a pile of editing to do if it isn't fixed.

Strange ... but confirmed, and only for "specifically named" C and C++ comments:

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

C++

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

Java

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

By "specifically named", do you mean that only the C/C++ examples are broken? I'm surprised that the first one is colorized at all, given that it doesn't specify a language.

If you don't specify anything, it tried to work it out for you - and mostly does a pretty good job.
But only the C / C++ ones gave a comment problem.

Chris is looking into this. He thinks it has something to do with the comment continuation character support he added to c/c++.

I didn't even realize there was such a thing.

I wasn't sure what you meant, but it looks like a backslash at the end of a line continues a comment. This makes sense insofar as it escapes the endline character, but I still think it's silly.

One thing I learned when writing specifications. Make one or two silly, easy to fix, mistakes or requirements. The reviewers need to find something to justify their existence, so make both your lives easier.
