1 year ago @Tohtoroo Copying text from PDF files results in additional line breaks. I suppose we can expect users to know/notice it and take corrective action. We know that testers are liable to make some mistakes due to the time pressure of the PE phase I. Rejected bugs, if not disputed by the tester, will not lower the accuracy of the tester.
For example: In the PDF version of the UG: add n/John Tan p/543299 d/2023-02-13 a/20 v/DENV1 If you copy into command line: add n/John Tan p/543299 d/2023-02-13 a/20v/DENV1
Due to the lack of space between the 20 and v/, the program will throw an error. The thing is I don't think it's wrong to report it as a bug since it was straight from the UG that we were supposed to view through, however, after checking the actual ug website of the group I reviewed, the problem does not occur there, and the spaces are there.
Is there any suggestions for this issue? Because personally, I don't think it's particularly right to have my accuracy docked due to a legitimate problem faced during the actual practical itself, but I also don't think it's particularly right to have the dev team's side to have this documentation bug since it was most probably due to the pdf document automatically breaking the UG page into new lines given the size constraints causing the problems!
