LinkedIn and Facebook Writing Text Backwards

5 pointsby jhabdas8 years ago7 comments

On the Web both of these tools are fairly heavy on JavaScript. Both of them started writing text I entered backwards as I typed it, rendering then unusable. This has never happened with any other software I've used. Any ideas what could be happening?

Happened to me on LinkedIn a few weeks ago. Bizarre error. Using browser on Linux, not any phone apps,

So I'm not the only one. For me the solve was to delete my accounts on those services. Hasn't seen it happen to me since.

Browser extension? I know Millenials to Snake People caused this at one point.

Oh interesting. I believe I'd tried that extension for fun at one point, but switched to Yandex and was only using a handful of extensions at the time (M=>SP wasn't one of them).

Maybe browser setting or malware. Try a different browser.

Try in incognito, it will tell you if it’s them or a browser issue (plugin, cache, ...)

Unicode stuff? I am not super familiar with their stacks, but perhaps some marker is wrong.
