@aduffner Technically a space is a character. I could add a check to make sure that subsequent spaces are counted as only one character. Would this help?

[aduffner]

@mthielemann Yes, or perhaps any character that exceeds a sequence of three? I’m not entirely sure, but if I need to enforce the user to deliver a reason, I want it to be valid. As you correctly identified, this would just be an enhancement, but we should also assume the user isn’t deliberately trying to exploit the app ...

[mthielemann]

@aduffner I think it would be a better approach to utilize NSSpellChecker and try if we can determine the text's language. If I would enter something like fsdfavjolsrksafv it would return undefined. Otherwise it would return the language code. But this would still not be perfect because something like das ist fsdfavjolsrksafv would also return de even if it makes no sense.

@aduffner Added this to build 1803. The feature is disabled by default and has to be enabled using a configuration profile by setting the key ReasonCheckingEnabled to true.

@aduffner Build 1805 has just been posted. Please check if it works for you. Thanks.

[aduffner]

@mthielemann Works as designed and described. Thank you! 🥇

[aduffner]

@mthielemann Ah wait, possibly it's active without defining the key - in german language. Or did you seperately checked just for spaces?

[mthielemann]

@aduffner The removal of subsequent whitespace characters is always active. Only the "content checking" must be enabled separately.

@mthielemann Thanks for making it clear, helps a lot for later documentation. 😊
