Main Page: Character Sheet Enhancement

Listing random quirks of the sheet system, especially those related to issues surrounding the CSE rollout and updated code sanitation on Roll20's part.

Bugs

• using optgroups in select doesn't work on custom sheets, even though it works on existing sheets like Free Spacer
  • discussion^(Forum) May 2021

CSE

Bugs related to CSE.

• Roll template styling sometimes completely disappears and doesn't work when trying to convert from LCS to CSE. Andreas J. (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
  • thread discussiong issues.^(Forum)

• HTML replacement characters have been observed to sometimes be converted prematurely after the CSE update was made which can cause sheet roll macros to break.
  • Only appears to happen in CSE-mode. reported by Ayethin & Vince

• in some cases, .charsheet needs to be added to the CSS classes, which previously worked fine with Legacy Sheet
  • ex. .charsheet span{ width: 150px;}, instead of span{ width: 150px;}
• Asterisks disappearing from CSS comments. examples & discussion^(Forum)
  • Chris D. may have uncovered strange behavior with CSS comments using multiple asterisk characters. eg /******/
  • Scott C. notes that this may be an older bug
    [1]
    and suggests to use # instead. eg /*######*/

• fixed issues with @import Release Note for April 27, 2021^(Forum)
  • if a @import exists, it seems it might result in roll20 ignoring the first instance of the next css class in the file, workaround is to add an empty, "sacrificial" version of the class first that will be eaten up, and the one after will work normally

LCS

Bugs that only affect Legacy Sheets.

Sheetworkers

Bugs in how sheetworkers function.

JavaScript Restrictions

• "Ghost Rows" in repeating sections when a dash '-' is used in the section name full description & reporduction steps^(Forum) - found by Peter B. Jan 2021

Github

Bug affecting how sheets uploaded to the sheet repo work or function.

• replacing sheet images on github doesn't always update on sheet to make sure images change on sheet when updating/replacing them, change their name/reference in the code, eg. logo.jpg to logo2.jpg.
  • discussion on the bug
  • This minor bug have been observed occasionally since 2019(?) (Andreas J. (talk) 15:39, 5 May 2021 (UTC))
