Odd iMessage Bug Truncates Last Word of Certain Text Phrases

[PinoyAko]

This is truly a first world problem.

...additional phrases trigger the truncation...

What else do these phrases trigger?!!

 

[femike]

Works fine here

No problem here at all with those those two phrases. I've never had a problem of missing words.

This article is clearly a lie. Apple never has bugs. They have features.

My wife has larger text on her phone so she can see it better and everything shows up fine on her phone when I send it to her or she sends it to me but does not on mine. This, on top of everything else listed in comments above, proves what is being said about the width issue.

It's not necessary for this to be on the first line.

imessage is buggy

it is a buggy app anyway, just like the "...... is not registered with imessage" when trying to send messages to legit address book recipients, I am not at all impressed with this program so it doesnt surprise me

 

[tranceking26]

Is it just for those messages or are there more

Either way, does anybody actually type those phrases often enough for a big deal to be made out of the bug lol

I am using the Folks font on my iPhone and it does not do this. When I revert back to the default font it does it.

This should be a simple glitch for them to fix. It just needs to calculate the bubble better.

Apple would have known about this bug sooner, but all they got in feedback was "I think there's a problem with "

Wow, so someone found a way to take a simple bug in iMessage and make it go viral around the blogs/news by using the President's name in its example?

Maybe Samsung should hire this guy.

Best way to get Apple to fix things quickly.

That's another way to see it!

Makes me happy that my phone dislikes Obama as much as I do

Communist...

 

[SheriffCahill]

It seems that it is also a problem with the font. I have a jailbroken phone and mine worked fine but once I changed the font they disappeared.

 

[SlasherKG]

This isn't really an iMessage bug, but a Messages app bug in general.
I tried it both as iMessage and SMS, and both get truncated.

Kinda misleading title...

On another note, it affectes biteSMS also, so it's clearly a rendering issue.

This is truly a first world problem.

Technically a LAST word problem.

 

[XboxMySocks]

Is this only on 6.1.3?

I'm on 6.1.2, and both messages are received fine (yes, with the space).

I think you're right. 6.0.2 and no issue.

Hmmmm... it looks like iMessage is → accidentally a whole word.

I've seen this error quite a bit, and it's not a new issue with the latest release of iOS. I posted to an Apple discussion about it (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20223516#20223516) last November. It's disappointing it's not fixed yet, so hopefully this MacRumors article will raise its profile within Apple and they'll sort it out.

Same here. Both DH and I have larger text and no problem.
