This Northern Saw-whet Owl was encountered by the VINS research team on October 17 at 10 PM. It was quickly discovered that this bird was already banded with band number 1124-47884. Our team recognized the number as one belonging to our friends up at North Branch Nature Center in Montpelier. A quick message confirmed that this bird was in fact one of theirs. The bird was originally banded at North Branch on October 11 at 8:40 PM. The bird weighed 92 grams and was recorded as a Second Year Female. By the time it made its way approximately 45 miles south, she weighed 81 grams. > >Recaptures like this illustrate the importance of having multiple stations utilizing the standardized protocol of Project Owlnet. Each recapture provides important migration data and helps to better understand this secretive species. > >This bird was handled for the purpose of scientific research under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey and in accordance with all state permitting requirements

I’d like to know if I should file a bug, or if this is just something in my config. In particular, I’d be grateful for confirmation about what I’m seeing.

In Raccoon, in this post, I see only the first paragraph of the post. If I “view raw,” I can see the entire post text; it also shows up correctly in Thunder, and in the web interface.

I don’t see a way to expand the post, and I’m not sure if it’s only this post or if it’s happening a lot and I just haven’t noticed, because the only way to detect missing content is through the “view raw” function.

Is this a setting, or a bug? I

    I confirm that there may be an issue with quotations spanning over multiple paragraphs.

    I’ll have a look at it as soon as I have a little time. Thanks for reporting in the meantime.

      Thanks! And I’m glad someone has taken it on.

      However: far, far worse is the frequency with which the recent versions of the app crashes in the middle of creating posts. I switched off of Racoon after this happening three times; then I re-installed the beta that was released yesterday (?) and lost another.

      Bugs are going to happen; that’s fine. But I’d far rather a focus on comment stability than anything else. It wouldn’t be so bad if there are an autosave, since there isn’t, it’s a deal-breaker.

      Maybe wrap the entire compose mechanism in a broad-spectrum try-catch and at least dump the compose area text to the clipboard or something.

        Fix for the issue with quotes here.

        As for the crashes, unfortunately, the app has no tracking library which is good for privacy but terrible for debugging because anonymous data would help a lot! Do you remember whether it happens after some specific pattern, eg. after you insert an image from the gallery or anything like that?
