Numbering of items not correct like "Showing 5 - 4 of 4"

E4CH

When looking at items on the Connect site, it usually shows at the top and bottom the items that are being shown. For example if there are 22 items in your current selection and you are on page 2, showing 4 items on each page, then you should see "Showing 5 - 8 of 22". Sometimes it can happen that the first value is bigger than the maximum, like "Showing 5 - 4 of 4".

Line breaks are not correctly presented in several sections of a Connect item.

Erland Sommarskog

Recently, several parts of a Connect item when you see them in your web browser, do not seem to have any line breaks, but the section is one long paragraph, which makes the text difficult to read. And not the least if makes code in repros very difficult to work with. A look with View Source, reveals what seem to have happened. Here is an excerpt from http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/778911/errors-that-abort-batch-but-not-transactions-cannot-be-caught-when-the-clr-is-on-th...

Search does not find recently submitted bugs for SQL Server

I was looking for a bug that I submitted the other day, and I tried to use Search to find it, but no matter what I tried, the item did not appear. (Yeah, I see that there is tab "My feedback" on the main Feedback page, but I always use Search.) I also noticed that when I searched on my own name, the most recent hit was in October/November 2012.

A while back, I submitted https://connect.microsoft.com/Connect/feedback/details/739942/problems-accessing-old-items-from-ladybug and it was closed as fixed. And indeed the symptom I reported no longer exhibits. However, when I hover the mouse of one this items, the tool-tip text says "Voting is no longer enabled on this item", and indeed I can't vote despite if I'm signed in.

Search results in Connect are difficult to scroll through.

Ben Howard [MVP]

Hello, I using connect to log bugs for Office 2013 - 1. before I log a bug I search through the current feedback items. When I search the results are brought back 10 at a time, and there might be several hundred of them - there is no way this is workable - I end up just filing the bug and letting microsoft triage the item. 2. When I log a bug, I have to choose the product (excel, project etc). I cannot restrict the search results to a product, so though I'm trying to search for Project bug...

Danish translations are buggy

rasmusw

The Danish translation of the site contains a number of bugs. The program directory (https://connect.microsoft.com/directory) has at least these translation errors: In the drop downs in the three columns which I guess are called Actions, Accepts, and Audience, the top item which I guess says "Any" in English, is translated as "Vilkårlig" which actually can mean "Any" but in the sense of "pick any" instead of in the sense of "All". The correct translation would be "Alle" meaning "All". The third...
