I could not install the package above on my pi installation: package not found
But sudo apt install fonts-symbola worked. I just needed to restart the magicmirror service. Although, the emojis are not colored. But still better than the square ;-)

I switched my settings now to the ones posted by MichMich. The display of posts was totally confused after switching off the pagination. I had to log out and on again. Now the latest posts are loaded as default and when I scroll up to the top older posts are loaded step by step until the opening post is reached.

And now my reply was shown immediately after I submitted it.

Form Android with Chrome I see the same.
For the first post, there was nothing pre-filled. But I had to manually refresh to see the post after submitting. And now I have the pre-filling again.

Funny enough, when I edit a previous post, this does not occur. The page is reloaded automatically and the edited post is shown right away.
It’s only when I want to create a reply.

I have the option “After posting a reply, show newest post” checked in my settings, yes.

And for this very reply now the text of my last reply from five days ago was pre-filled again in the reply box.
I was logged out for several days now.

I guess we need some systematic testing to narrow this down. But sdetweil tried already all cases I could imagine:

• log off and on again -> no change for me
• clear cache and cookies -> haven’t tried yet
• restart system -> no change for me
• use different browser -> no change for me
• use different OS -> no change for me
• use different hardware -> no change for me
• use different account -> haven’t tried yet

I think, everything but a new account was already tested by Sam without success. Any more suggestions?

No, I’m not a moderator user. I registered for this forum just 5 days ago (9th of April).

I have the following results now:

electron 3.x.x : working as expected
electron 4.x.x : not working at all, the screen stays black
from electron 5 up to latest version (8.2.2) : The text of the different modules gets overlaid as shown in the screenshots.

For the moment I stay at version 3.0.13 as all the modules I’m using are working fine.
(alert, updatenotification, clock, calendar, compliments, newsfeed, helloworls, MMM-ImageSlideshow)

But I fear at some point I’ll have to update to be able to use the latest MagicMirror commit…

Can I somehow set this topic to “Closed” or “Solved” (at least for now ;-) )?

And, thank you very much for your help, @sdetweil !

No, reload of the page is actually fine.

Browser: Firefox
Version: 75.0 (64-bit)

When I Submit a reply, it is not displayed right away. I have to re-open the topic (a simple re-load of the page opens the reply form again, I think. Let me try…).

And when I want to make another reply, the form is still filled with the text from the previous one.

“I last tested 6.0.12, but don’t know if it was ok for profile use”
Did you mean ‘portrait’ use? But I have this problem also in landscape mode without rotated screen.

I removed the electron folders in node_modules and did

npm install electron@3.0.6 --only=prod

With this version everything is fine again. I try to figure out for which version of electron it breaks…

I’m not sure if electron is the issue. I tried with several commits and figured out 7b3a594 is still working fine for me, but 6e7edd9 (the one before the “Upgrade to Electron 6”) already causes this problem for me.

Oh, I just realized there is an electron upgrade already in this commit (although it is not stated in the commit message):

> electron-chromedriver@6.0.0 install /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron-chromedriver
> node ./download-chromedriver.js


> electron@6.1.7 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron
> node install.js

So might well be an electron issue. Can you give me some advice how I can try different versions to see which one is working for my setup?
