pinyin syllables playing peek-a-boo

jww1066   April 9th, 2010 9:23a.m.

I just noticed this morning that when you have a multi-character word and you have "hide pinyin" turned on, the later syllables often appear for a half a second before disappearing behind the "show" buttons. Then when you finish writing a character or click on the first "show" button, they again appear for a second and then hide again.

This is on Windows XP, Chrome 5.0.342.9 beta, Flash player 10.0.45.2.

I'm seeing the same thing.

Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.3, 10.0.22.87

Not sure what's happening (can't reproduce), but it may be related to a recent bug with word wrapping code messing up the count for the show bubbles. I'm uploading a fix for that, and maybe it will fix this issue, too--please let me know if it continues.

@nick: Thanks. By the way, I couldn't reproduce the bug in IE 8.
