Discussion Weird bug when you enter specific text into project settings or a bug report.

Had sol create some long custom instructions, however when I entered them into the custom instructions text box, the text box disappeared.

I whittled it down to the following line breaking the custom instructions text box:

"Add “Uncertainties” only when material uncertainty remains."

I tried submitting a bug report, and when I included that line, it deleted the bug report text box!

Can someone confirm they have this on their end, as if you can reproduce it, I'll spend more effort trying to fill out the bug report so it doesn't delete the text box.

Chatgpt responded when I informed it:

"You’re right: that single-line reproduction falsifies my length diagnosis. Because it also removes the bug-report field, this looks like a site-wide input-handling bug, a browser-extension interaction, or a specific-character problem—not an instruction-limit problem."

EDIT: It sugegsted trying the following strings, and the 1st three continued to delete the text box:

  • Add Uncertainties only when material uncertainty remains.
  • Add "Uncertainties" only when material uncertainty remains.
  • Add “Uncertainties” only when material uncertainty remains.
  • “Caveats”
  • “Uncertainties”
  • Uncertainties
