myops9 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I've encountered a strange bug in BBO. Somehow, the software seems to have copied a post-code from an outside document I completed and bizarrely, when I start a chat message, this post-code appears first. I can't seem to disable this. Anyone met this before? I'd really appreciate any ideas. Thanks. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Yes - I also see a similar problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAlan Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I speculate that the bug (or whatever) is causing your clipboard's contents to be displayed - had you copied the postcode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Chrome in particular is known to be very aggressive when it comes to auto-filling fields it thinks should contain an address (typically for no reason at all, like it found a word ending in 'code' somewhere in the vicinity of the box). If it is autofill, there may not be a site-specific solution but there are global ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I also suspect that it is Chrome auto-filling the Chat box, since one of my friends has reported this. I just disabled auto-filling and I've not heard any more. I suspect it was a Chrome upgrade rather than anything that BBO is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I have encountered Chrome aggressively auto-filling certain fields when creating a tournament, so this certainly can happen with BBO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 It's not just the chat box. It also happens in the partner field when inviting someone to play in a pair tournament. It's on our known bug list, no idea when we'll get around to fixing it. It's annoying but not a serious problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpasquale Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Anyone figure this out.....Chrome keeps trying to put a word in, whenever I try to chat in the lower box. It is very annoying. How to get rid of?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I once managed to get rid of it for a little while by using the arrow keys and then pressing Delete to delete it, but they came back. I don't think there's any real way to stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
