Writing posts, (Quick) replies is breaking, I have no idea why

[Csonicgo]

Sorry for the terrible title. BUT! For the past few weeks replying to threads using the Quick reply, I get a bunch of garbage! Which, given my posts are usually garbage, no one notices, but now it's getting ridiculous. Usually I have to clean up my posts after typing them but i'm not going to this time, just to show y'all how annoying this is.

 

I mean.. a BUNCH. of garbage. Lots of characters I didn't even type, and sometimes the text doesn't line up with the cursor.. what the heck is going on?

​oooooh SEE THERE IT GOES!THAT DOES IT.‹‹‹

What on god's earth is going on? Sometimes carriage return does what it is supposed to, then it pulls that AE AE AE garbage. It's intermittent, and I don't like dealing with it. It's beginning to get so bad that i write things in a text editor and paste it in threads. the smileys are also affected, as you can see.

 

Is this a bug, my computer? Because it does this at work too.

 

MacOS/Linux with Chrome (this version on Linux is Version 51.0.2704.91)

​Any help? this is really annoying! ​

That is...interesting. I am also using MacOS with Chrome, and I am not seeing this, nor have I seen anyone else reporting it. No idea what percentage of people are using the "Quick Reply", but I use it 90% of the time. Are you seeing the characters in the editor, or do they only appear after you submit the post?

Looks like this may have something to do with the character encoding mode. In Chrome, if you go to the View menu and then "Encoding", is "Auto Detect" checked? Below that, which character encoding is selected?
