Bad formatting when replying to email

E
Rank

When I reply to a customer's email, the formatting in the reply box is very odd.


The formatting is as follows:


One blank line

Customer name

Three blank lines

Ticket number

Three blank lines

My signature


So whenever I reply to a ticket, I have to spend time erasing those extraneous lines. 


And for some reason, my signature is of a special text type, because I can't use my arrow keys to navigate above it. I have to use my mouse. I can arrow down, but not up.

Hi Sven


Sorry for the trouble.

Does this happen on specific browsers or all ? Never happened to us in Chrome or Firefox ? Are you using IE or so ?


Do let us know, if possible some screencast or screenshot would be helpful to troubleshoot


thanks

We seem to be having similar issues with extra "<br>" tags when we customize email templates, and have logged a ticket.

i am also having an issue using firefox 24.0 replying to emails. we have to manually to every reply arrow down a line line or 2 to respond to each ticket. when will this be fixed in the reply template?

Multiple line breaks are still appearing between a reply and the insertion of an agent's  signature line. This means that every time our agents reply,they must first delete the white space. I am using Chrome. I thought this was corrected.

I have the same problem as well. I use Firefox.

I am having the same problems.  It started when I removed the message and uses copy and paste (on my Windows box) to duplicate another message.  I cannot eliminate it now.  (I will be opening a ticket on this as well.)

Hi,




We've vastly improved the copy-paste functionality of the editor and also we've made some enhancement with respect to adding the attachments on the replies . Should you notice any issues with the editor, please drop us a note here and we'll act on it immediately.




Cheers!

Just happened to me Windows 10 / Chrome ... Single most frustrating issue with service.

Extra and odd line breaks / spacing still happening in the editor (I'm using Firefox 59.0.1, on Windows 10), making it almost impossible to predict the real look of a canned response or notification template in an email.

Example in the screenshot below:

1) When adding 1 empty paragraph (hitting ENTER twice) in the editor, it comes out / looks like 2 empty paragraphs in the preview and test email (or 1 empty paragraph with huge spacing after it);
2) When just adding a line break (hitting ENTER once) in the editor, it comes out / looks like 1 empty paragraph in the preview and test email (or huge spacing after the previous paragraph).

This is taking hours fiddling around. This should be either truly WYSIWYG or there should be an HTML view option to clean up any messy code.

Why is this marked "Solved" if the issue persists; is this being addressed?


M

This is a disaster. Using canned responses inputs two blank lines under the greeting. and sometimes when manually editing and leaving a space between the greeting and text the space gets removed when sending. We've been wrestling with invisible spaces for a while and now the text editor is removing spaces it's impossible to tell how the email will appear before sending.

I didn't see this topic when I opened another for the same issue: https://support.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/50000000338

I've just had a response from support:


The addition of extra
line breaks while adding content from canned responses or scenario automation
has been acknowledged as a bug. This is being worked upon by our developers.

​

​Unfortunately, we do not have an ETA on this but I'll be sure to notify you as
soon as I have any updates on this email thread.


I think this is why it's marked as solved.
