Shortly speaking, JavaScript trims the excessive contents after the first saving attempt, if we press the Save Profile button immediately or after reducing the contents, the changes will be committed with data loss. | |

| Jul 15, 2011 at 5:30 | comment | added | Display Name | But the notification error does not mention that the system has trimmed the contents silently. Unfortunately the user does not realize the silent trimming, so if he/she presses the save button immediately or after reducing the contents, the changes will be committed with data loss. I have made my own question for this issue here but before knowing it has been asked here. | |
