Comment Inception Glitch

Not sure what specifically is causing this, but the easiest way to describe it is comment-ception. This glitch results in comments within comments within comments within comments (You get the idea.)

Anyways, really annoying because most people aren’t properly pasting the code, which results in a bunch of garbage text that fills up the comments.

Oh dear, I destroyed my comments Glitch Pit 2 - Roblox
It appears for each $` writen creates a nested comment.

this is hilarious

yeah you really can’t report it

Also, I think there’s a whole lot more to this:

Look at the comments.

Enjoy the spam I gave you :swag:

This needs fixed; just a little…

It seems this is no longer much of a secret. The comments on just about everything popular is littered with broken comments. Hopefully this also means the problem will be fixed soon.

Came here to post the same thing. Pretty funny.

Please keep it! Way too much to remove, XD.

Can we get an update as to if this bug has been acknowledged or not?

Just noticed the comment glitch now too and was about to report it.

When it’s fixed, all of these comments will just be filled with repeated occurrences of $` since this is just a display error.

I was just about to report this, and then I saw waffle already did. Hahah.

Wow, javascript has some really weird “features”.

Guess what the result of this is?

"ab".replace("b", "1 $`$`")

You would think it would be "a1 $`$`"

It’s actually "a1 aa"

I wouldn’t be surprised if this weird functionality introduces XSS vulnerabilities in some sites.

Oh god it’s becoming worse

Can we please get confirmation that this bug is acknowledged + being fixed? I’ve shut off the comments to my game because it’s gotten so bad.

This is ridiculous. RIP my comments:

Can confirm it is fixed.

The cool thing about web stuff like this is you can often see the exact change they made to the code.

r = r.replace("%CommentContent", n.Content)

was changed to

r = r.replace("%CommentContent", n.Content.replace(/\$/g, "$"))
