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.

Can't replicate. Using Ff 2.0.0.12 Win XP. Splits nicely with various line breaks in the body.

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

First of all... please use complete sentences when talking to me; it would be much appreciated. Nouns are appropriate sometimes, as subjects.

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.

In IE7 I am seeing the split move 2 characters to the right before the split occurs. I edited a node created with the devel module.

The original post:

node (blog) - Esca gemino brevitas haero verto ratis pala. Neque meus validus importunus suscipit molior dolor. Tincidunt cui abigo feugiat iusto capto uxor.

Cogo jus suscipere patria. Virtus natu meus vindico sudo hos. Adipiscing iriure dolor causa ulciscor tum esse enim typicus. Illum commodo abico modo probo. Hos oppeto torqueo. Modo incassum aliquam blandit nimis. Dolor meus ymo gemino neo molior. Hendrerit vero eum abigo gravis comis minim premo vindico bene.

I placed the cursor immediately before "Illum" in the 2nd paragraph. Then I clicked Split summary at cursor. The results are as follows:

Summary -

node (blog) - Esca gemino brevitas haero verto ratis pala. Neque meus validus importunus suscipit molior dolor. Tincidunt cui abigo feugiat iusto capto uxor.

Cogo jus suscipere patria. Virtus natu meus vindico sudo hos. Adipiscing iriure dolor causa ulciscor tum esse enim typicus. Il

(main) Body -

lum commodo abico modo probo. Hos oppeto torqueo. Modo incassum aliquam blandit nimis. Dolor meus ymo gemino neo molior. Hendrerit vero eum abigo gravis comis minim premo vindico bene.

The split is wrong by two characters.

Confirmed #3 in IE7, but OK in Firefox 2.

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

Still there in Internet Explorer 8 and the current Drupal 6 version.
