Strange Copy Code problem in QA - solved

I added Solution 3 to the question at Performing arithmetic operations with textbox values[^]. But now, when I click the Copy Code button in my solution it picks up random code from elsewhere in the entry, e.g.

On Button click, divide the value of textbox1 with the sum of the values of TesxtBox2, TextBox3, and TextBox4, then multiply the result with the value of TextBox5. Show the final result in textBox6. I have tried manipulating the below code, but doesn't seem to get. Would appreciate any valuable assistance

Which is from the question.

[edit]
I restarted Chrome and it is working now.

This was using Chrome, and it happened at least five times for me. I just restarted Chrome and it appears to be OK.

Unfortunately, this fixed itself before I could track down the issue.

I'll keep a lookout for this should it happen again.

Font used to display code

Hi all

Is there a way to change the font CP uses to display code snippets in articles?

My new tablet is currently showing code in Courier New and I always code in a non serif font.

Do you have Consolas installed?
The CSS for the code shows:

CSS

font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, mono

So Courier New is a "fallback" font, if Consolas isn't installed.

(You can see this by using Chrome Inspect, then looking at the Computed tab for the element.)

Many thx OG, I'll pursue that idea.

[Update]

Bummer. Consolas is a MS font and appears not to be available on Android.

Would it be feasible to have a fallback for Consolas in the same way there is a fallback for Courier New?

Might be a dumb idea, but can you download a font you like and rename it so your browser thinks it's consolas?

Yeah, totally. I'll just replace courier with monospace which will be Droid Sans Mono on Android

Search box should remember my last search strings

If I search for an article and click into the search text box I would like see a drop down list where it is possible to select search strings which I did earlier.

We actually disable that in order to not have a conflict with the document type chooser. An option is we place the document type chooser above (or to the side of) the search box so the auto-complete can appear below.

It should be like BC does it:
Bleeping Computer Technical Support Forums[^]

Click on "Search" shows last search strings
Click on "Forum" (inside the search box) show forum sections for selection

I think I managed to give Marc's comments[^] two thumbs-ups. (Not that he doesn't deserve it...)
I did click twice, but nothing appeared to happen the first time...

Sorry for the delay. I looked at it last week and everything looked OK.
However, when I look at it today, the counts on the emoticons and the votes in the popup don't match.
I'll look into it.

Or, at least, on my browser, I see no syntax highlighting but the name of the preogramming language on the top.
