Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Searching through prior posts, I was surprised to not discover anywhere, that this was mentioned already. The official release of drupal 6.0 has a glaring error in how it divides the text into two fields, when you press "Split summary." The utility works fine, if you have one contiguous block of text. However, if there are already linebreaks within the text... when the break occurs - then the cursor will be awkwardly moved to the right several characters, so that the break will occur at the wrong spot.

I wonder if it's a \r\n vs. \n or \r type thing?

OK, gpk. Because you mentioned you didn't see the problem... I tested out a few of the browsers I thought you might be using. At first glance, I'll tell you that the problem doesn't seem to occur on Mozilla's Firefox. It does, however, happen with Opera 9.23 and Internet explorer 6.0. Cheers.

The original post:
I placed the cursor immediately before "Illum" in the 2nd paragraph. Then I clicked Split summary at cursor. The results are as follows:
Summary -
(main) Body -
The split is wrong by two characters.

Marked #345955: Split summary at cursor misses the cursor position as duplicate.
