Description

Environment:

  • OS: 17.0.1
  • IceCubesApp version: 1.8.5

Description

Ice cubes reformats posts either stripping leading spaces or perhaps condensing them into a single space. This behavior destroys formatted posts.

This reformat happens on display. The spaces are sent via Ice Cubes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the display in IceCubesApp 1.8.5 on iOS 17.0.1, comparing the same formatted post with the official Mastodon app. Trace the display path rather than sending, and consider the issue done when leading spaces are preserved in rendered posts while the sent text remains unchanged.
