Bug with badwords filter, even if inactive

aMUSiC · Post by **aMUSiC** » 22 Dec 2007, 15:10

A very strange bug occurs with the bad words filtering mechanism in smartfox pro 1.5.5 (haven't tried 1.6 yet). Whenever i send a Public or Private message which includes at least one capital greek letter (in UTF8), the bad-words filter kicks in and issues an administrator warning message about profanity usage, even when I specifically disable the bad-words filter in config.xml. Additionally, the server will convert all letters to lowercase when passing them to the rest of the clients.

If I use all lowercase letters, the filter will not triger.

Capital greek letters in Unicode span from \\u0386 to \\u03ΑΒ

The filter will not trigger also if I use all capital English letters.

Could you post the actual characters here? (hope the board supports it, it should) so we can copy/paste them around and test
Thanks

(switch browser's encoding to UTF-8 to see/copy the characters)

My browser doesn't have problems with Greek characters as you can see below:

However I don't think I am seeing your characters correctly in your post.
This is what I see... is it correct?

In case those characters are not the right ones, please send us a utf-8 text file with the problematic chars and we'll take a look asap.

Thanks

Lapo, the encoding on this site/forum is NOT UTF-8.. it's iso-8859-1 as the page source indicates

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

I forcibly-switched my browsers encoding to UTF-8 before posting these characters here. Then when I try to view the post the browser's encoding automatically switches back to 8859-1 and I see the same symbols that you have posted in the screenshot. Manually changing again my browser's encoding to UTF-8 reveals the correct greek characters.

Thanks. We have tested with versions 1.5, 1.5.9 and 1.6.0 and found that the problem exists only in version 1.5 so I recommend to upgrade to 1.5.9 or 1.6
