Don't be shy, I mean you don't need to be shy on this thread

Hmmm, I just realised I probably shouldn't have quoted you :/

I assume with direct write you are doing this: chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write and not through your operating system. I know direct write can have some unexpected results depending on DPI settings, but not like what you have described.

The fact it's only quotes, and the only difference with quotes from the rest of the forums is the text is italic. I suspect this may not be coincidence. I'm not saying all italic text will appear that way on forums. But this might be a clue, since missing and blurry text can both fall under a font rendering issue.

Now I'm going stop myself from any further speculation. because I need to know one major thing. Does this happen with Linkify disabled?

Also if it's not too much trouble can you post a small screenie of the blurry text.

^Thanks for the fast reply

I can see the difference with the text you posted. That's pretty much what I'd expect to see from those settings, to me it looks like they are working as they should.

I have played around with direct-write but I haven't been successful in reproducing the missing quote text.

This being a seemingly isolated case makes it tricky solve. When many people experience the same issue it's usually easier to track down. But just because not many are experiencing this problem doesn't make it any less important to me.

I'm basically going to go through a process of elimination and try different things. I'm going to push out an update (in about an hour) that will remove some things that I think may clash with direct-write. It may take a while for chrome to update the extension though, and the changes may not make any difference.

I'll edit this post with the new version number when the update is live. That way if you wish to manually update you can.

Edit: Version 3.1.7.44 has some small changes, don't know if it will help though.

I'm not sure how this will go, because I can't be sure linkify alone is the cause, but I wont know until I try.

Fingers crossed

Not sure if it will help, I'll just try a few things. I'm not even sure if I can do anything about it. It's a process of elimination and it's a clumsy process with no guarantees.

But as I said before I need to try

Oh nothing will break, the first thing I have done is remove some redundant code that addressed an old font issue that's no longer needed.
