Safari bug with ruby tag
Paul McMahon
Update (November 8th, 2019): Juanito Fatas has pointed out to me this bug has now been fixed.
Safari 12.1.1 has a strange issue with certain ruby tags. Specifically, something like
<ruby>γγ²γγ²<rp>οΌ</rp><rt>γγ²γγ²</rt><rp>οΌ</rp></ruby>
which renders as
γγ²γγ²
If you control click on the above, and then click somewhere else on the page, Safari crashes with βThis webpage was reloaded because a problem appeared.β
We use the ruby tag in Doorkeeper for showing the reading of event participant names, as in Japanese, it can be non-obvious how to read the kanji. However, due to this bug, it appears that clicking on event participants names now causes Safari to crash under certain circumstances, making it a more serious issue then it might first appear to be.
I tried reporting it via the only Safari feedback form I could find, but I doubt that it gets much attention, so Iβd love it if someone knows a better way of reporting issues like this.
