anchor links not responding in Preview Pane (High Sierra) #924

Closed marc-medley closed 6 years ago

marc-medley commented 6 years ago

Anchor links do not jump to the anchored section in the MacDown Preview Pane on macOS High Sierra.

Scenario

Steps to replicate:

  1. Launch MacDown 0.7.1 on an up-to-date macOS High Sierra system.
  2. Open the help.md by selecting Help > MacDown Help from the MacDown top menubar.
  3. Click on any of the "Markdown preference pane", "Rendering preference pane", "Editor preferences pane" or "General preference pane" links near the first part of help.md.

Result: The preview anchor link does not jump to the corresponding anchored section.

Expected: Expected the anchor link to jump to the corresponding anchor section.

Background

This issue was noticed shortly after upgrading a system to macOS High Sierra. The same issue was observed on two additional macOS High Sierra machines.

This issue does not occur on yet another system which remains on macOS Sierra 10.12.

Environment

MacDown 0.7.1 (870) macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Same issue with MacDown version 0.7.2d49 (919) and system Mac OS X 10.13.3.

Interesting as I have MacDown 0.7.1 (870) running on High Sierra (10.13.4) and the links DO respond.

So it would appear to be an intermittent issue that works on some systems and not on others.

A rerun of my Markdown test page and the MacDown help.md on MacDown 0.7.1 (870) running on High Sierra (10.13.4) and found the Preview Links are now working OK.

/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/version.plist and Info.plist show the WebKit CFBundleVersion to be "13605.1.33.1.2".

So, since the Preview Links now work on the same MacDown 0.7.1 (870) version, then the issue appears to have been external to MacDown and fixed with some macOS System and/or Safari/Safari Preview update.

I'm ok if this issue is closed.

Yeah, MacDown does well with 10.13.4. Thanks a lot.

Is anyone else experiencing this same issue with MacDown version 0.7.1(870) on MacOS 10.13.5? As noted by others, it may not be a MacDown issue, since LiveDown has same issue

A rerun of my Markdown test page and the MacDown help.md on MacDown 0.7.1 (870) running on High Sierra (10.13.6) and found the Preview Links are working OK.

I'm having this problem on macOS 10.13.6 and MacDown 0.7.1(870).

From previous posts I'm guessing this maybe a macOS problem.

/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/version.plist and Info.plist show the WebKit CFBundleVersion to be "13605.3.8" (compared to "13605.1.33.1.2 as previously mentioned on 10.13.4" .

Anyone got ideas about how to address this?
