Re: [fltk.coredev] Trouble with GitHub commit comments - Forums

I'm having troubles with GitHub comments on commits. Sometimes I get notifications about new comments on a particular commit, but when I follow the link I don't see any comments, although there is an icon that shows a number of comments.

Is this only me, or is this a general GitHub problem?

For instance, take a look at this link:

https://github.com/fltk/fltk/commit/28e541513f3d51900ca1e7317a10a752dabcb5be#r198351290

What I see if I scroll down looks like this:

History:

Manolo added two comments

I didn't see the comments in my usual browser Firefox (ESR) on Debian Bookworm

I used another browser (either Brave or Chromium) which displayed Manolo's comments

I added two comments (now 4 comments)

I could no longer see any comments

Manolo replied with two more comments (now 6).

I still can't see any comments, neither with Firefox, Chromium, nor on macOS with Safari (and Firefox).

So, current status for me is that I can't reply to Manolo's comments (I found them in our newsgroup "fltk.issues" so I could read them at least).

Note to Manolo: I committed your suggestions and added ", resp.", see commit 33c466517ad67f747

Questions to all (not only FLTK devs):

What do you see when using the link shown above?

Did you have similar experiences?

Do you have evidence if this is a known (GitHub) issue?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Meanwhile I tried several hints (including "full refresh with ctrl/shift/r" and using a private browser window) but such this didn't help. Logging in as suggested (when I was not logged in) didn't help either

However, switching from my preferred view mode "unified diff" to "split diff" immediately displayed the comments. Switching back to "unified diff" kept the comments visible. This is obviously not a "user state" issue. I had to do this in all open browser sessions with different browsers, and this always worked. That's weird.

BTW: Thanks to Ian for your comment. I'll try that as well when I encounter this issue for the next time.

PS: Even if the comments are displayed inline, the line at the bottom right part still says "Comments 0", hence this seems to have another meaning.
