Tags getting concatenated
olik1979 says:
Hi,
since about a week or so I have a strange problem that really makes the use of tags quite annoying.
I have started to replace the lists with tags as it works better for me. Now I am seeing something strange happening:
Randomly when a task is assignet to certain tags "tag1", "tag2", "tag3" and perhaps is inside a list "list1", I see all its tags replaced it with the following tag on a later login:
"tag1tag2tag3list1"
Of course that isn't intended and I'm sure I originally entered things correctly. It is bad to have those monster tags in my tag cloud, and the tag cloud also doesn't have any use anymore, because tasks with "tag1" may be contained in multiple monstertag-groups.
I am using the Browser (Firefox), MilkSync to synchronize with Outlook and the iPhone App, if this helps somehow.
Thank you in Advance!

Oliver Koerber

Would it be possible to submit a Tasks & Lists issue report via our support system, if you haven't done so already?
Just select your issue from the list on the left, and follow the steps shown. If your issue isn't listed, click on "I'd like to report a new issue".
Your report should provide all the info that we need to investigate further, but we'll be in touch via email if we require any more details.
Thanks!

Hello,
thanks for the answer. I think I found the solution myself and I think it might be interesting for you as well. The problem was caused by changing some region settings inside Windows. I'm pretty sure that this somehow confused MilkSync when it exchanged data with the server.
The settings I changed are found within the control panel under "Regional and Language options". There you click on "Additional settings". In the "Numbers tab" you can see an entry named "List separator". I changed this from the default semicolon to a comma and the problems began. The reason was to get Excel to export CSV-Files as real "Comms separated values" (didn't work though).
As soon as I have changed this back, everything seems to be fine again.
I hope this helps some way. If there is some type of bug reporting system available where I should submit that behaviour please let me know. I just thought I shouldn't abuse the support system for that.
Best regards,
Oliver Körber

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for getting back to me on that; I've added that to our list to investigate.
