• Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
  • Yes (provide example URL)
  • No: try.gitea.io doesn't provide time-to-read display
  • Not relevant
• Log gist: N/A: web UI issue

Description

Gitea show how long reading a comment/issue takes. But the value that is shown changes inconsistently, and the same text can take two different times to read.

Reproduce with:

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

e

eeeeeeeeeeeee

• enter the text above in a text field for an issue, or a comment on an issue. Time is 4:13.
• remove the e in the middle. Time is 2:0 (should be shown as 02:00, though it's not the point of this issue)
• write back the e at the same place. Time is 2:1, different from 4:13.

That isn't time to read. That's a line:column indicator.

Unfortunately it does seem to have some odd behavior, especially on mobile, but that would be an upstream issue.

Hopefully we come up with a good solution in #10729
