Also a problem with other inputs, such as the buttons for subscribed, local, all

[dessalines]

I believe that @matc-pub and @SleeplessOne1917 fixed this one, and we need to do a bugfix release.

I'll start some 0.19.5-alpha builds and put them on voyager to verify.

[dessalines]

Okay I've put an alpha build up on https://voyager.lemmy.ml . I can't replicate the bug anymore.

[citking]

Verified when I tested cross-posting.

[dullbananas]

Still broken on https://voyager.lemmy.ml

This sounds like the script fails completely. Do you get any error messages?

[dullbananas]

There's no error messages or logs

[SleeplessOne1917]

Are there any more specific steps to reproduce this? I followed all of the ones listed in the issue and encountered no errors.

[dullbananas]

It seems to be affected by the browser version

[SleeplessOne1917]

That's unusual. I don't think we're using any bleeding-edge browser APIs that would cause browser compatibility issues.

I can replicate the bug on 0.19.4 everytime when cross-posting a post with an image. Using latest Firefox & Chrome.

• Click "cross-post" button on a post
• Change value of f.ex. Community, NSFW fields
• The form loses all values, like Image and Title

[dessalines]

I've tried also to replicate this on https://voyager.lemmy.ml , and can't. I spose we can leave this open, but we need a way to replicate this.

[Krisseck]

I can't replicate the bug on voyager.lemmy.ml anymore, currently running 0.19.5-alpha.3 🥳

[dessalines]

Cool, I spose we can close this then.

[dullbananas]

I still have the problem on that version

[matc-pub]

The problem appers to be only observable with Safari, iPadOS 16.7.8, desktop mode

I still have the problem on that version

Does 0.19.3 work? (lemmy.world is on 0.19.3)

[dullbananas]

0.19.3 does work

[makotech222]

just wanna mention, after 0.19.5 update, hexbear users on safari are running into url-related issues around pagination and such
