bug spam (electronic)

    My original question seems to have been over-looked (perhaps because I did not 'tag" it effectively, and I could not find a way to edit it that would allow me to add a Tag.).

    Please see...

    Furthermore, as of this morning, when I try to use the toolbar to access my tags, all I get is a few lines including some advertising for "Mercedes Car Benz New Slr undefined" that looks suspiciously like spam.

    Thanks.

    ========> Did you see these strange tags in the tag drop down list of Edit Filter window? It's strange, do you still have this problem? Could you give us a screen shot to joe 【at】 diigo dot come ?

    Thanks.

    Yes, they were in the drop down box. My apologies, for not having immediately captured a screen grab, but I was also encountering problems due to excessive aggregate response times (flickr - the site I was annotating) was having a bit of trouble with their ad server and TrailFire was also apparently suffering from slow response. As a result, I had to break out of the chain.

    Obviously, I'll keep an eye out for this and will try to get an image for you during the next week.

    Thanks for the bug fix. This is now working well, which is the good news. On a slightly bad note, now that its working, I can't get the apparent spam to display again, since (obviously) the intended material is being displayed.

    I have little choice but to consider this matter "closed" successfully.

    Thanks, again.

    Update...

    I managed to recreate this (all be it, accidentally) and I even managed to get a screen grab, although I think you will be able to re-create it yourself. The "apparent SPAM" results from using "undefined" as the "Tags:" value in the Toolbar's "Edit filter".

    Now that I have a better understanding of what I did to generate this, I do not consider this to be related to the 'embedded "-" character' bug at all.

    Thanks for your help in both these matters.

    (If you would like the screen grab for any reason, I don't mind sending it.)

    We already reproduced the bug and fixed it. The new toolbar will be available soon.

    It's not spam but a bug related to multiple FF windows.

    Thanks very much.
