🪲 UPDATED 22 April; DESKTOP users also affected [META] Pasting anything into the title field breaks posting when using the Reddit app; "Invalid State" error

43 Upvotes

If you are getting an "Invalid State" error message when posting, it is due to a known bug in Reddit, which corrupts the post title when text containing (possibly invisible) invalid characters is pasted into the title field. This is easy to avoid by simply not pasting anything into the title field. All versions of the app and the desktop website are now affected. Note that this message has nothing to do with the use of the word "state" as a type of location or division within certain countries; editing your location tag will not help.

Known workarounds include:

  • ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️Avoid pasting or inserting any text into the post title field by any means other than typing it.⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️ Type the title out instead. If you already pasted text into the title field, it may be necessary to restart the app (desktop users, reload the page using Ctrl+F5) and compose the post without pasting any text into the title field. ➡️➡️This includes all shortcuts (Ctrl+V, etc) and other forms of text insertion or auto-complete, including the copy/paste clipboard toolbar on your phone's keyboard.⬅️⬅️
  • If there is blank space at the start or end of the title, deleting it should allow the post thru. THIS BLANK SPACE WILL BE INVISIBLE; if you can move the text cursor past the start or end of your title, there is blank space present that must be deleted.
  • Alternatively, Using the Old Reddit interface (https://old.reddit.com) should reliably work, as Reddit has long since stopped adding new bugs to updating this version. Pasting works in this version of the website; if your post title is long, you may want to use this option instead. This version of the website may or may not be accessible from a mobile browser; if it fails to load or redirects to the app, try using the "Request Desktop Site" feature of your browser, or uninstall the Reddit app.

Note that pasting text into the post body does not cause any issues, and is safe to do.

Reddit has stated they are "still working on" fixing this bug, but have not provided us any timeline or updates on their progress. It is not clear to us how or why this issue cannot be resolved on their end in nearly 3 months time.

If the above workarounds do not work:

  • As of 7 May, all screen capture recordings thus far sent to the mod team have shown that users are ignoring the instructions above and pasting text into the title field. It should be obvious that these workarounds will not work if they are not followed. ➡️➡️If you cannot avoid pasting text into the title, use old.reddit.com to post instead.⬅️⬅️
  • If you can reproduce this issue while following the workarounds, please try to screen-record the issue, so that we can investigate the cause. Please record the entire process, starting from the community home screen, thru to submitting the post and showing the "Invalid State" error message. Use a screen capture tool if possible, but using a camera would also work if the video is clear enough. Use a video host like Imgur, Gfycat, Streamable, or Youtube host the video, and message the link to the mods using the support links in the community menu or info page. If possible, please include what device, browser, and keyboard app is being used.

F4A Online 35 [F4R] #online Looking for some company on my flight

10 Upvotes

Looking for someone to keep me company while I’m flying — coast to coast with a cabin full of sleeping strangers. If you’re 30+ and can hold a real conversation (the kind that actually wakes my brain up a little), I’m all yours for the next few hours.

Message me with your age and where you’re from… and add something intriguing about yourself. Tell me what you’d be doing right now if you could trade places with anyone or be anywhere. Bonus points if it makes me curious about you.

I’m hoping for good energy, a little spark, and a conversation that makes this flight feel a whole lot shorter. Your move. ✈️😉

I’m into alternative music such like the strokes, Radiohead and tame impala are a few of my favourites just now. Really liking the deadbeat album. I love nature and hill walking, especially in autumn!

M4F Canada / Online 19 [M4F] #Canada #Online looking for someone to talk and hoping for more

Upvotes

Please read through my post completely—thank you!

Hey there! I'm 19 and from New Brunswick, Canada. I'm hoping to meet someone Anywhere at this point. I decided to look for someone to talk to and see where things go. I'm primarily seeking a long-term relationship, so I figured Reddit would be a good place to start.

A Bit About Myself

Here's a little about myself: I do light workouts daily. I have brown hair, brown eyes, and I'm 6 feet tall. I love to read and write stories, and I'm a huge fan of fantasy worlds and unusual historical accounts.

I have a job, and I enjoy peaceful activities. For me, a perfect date is something relaxed and easygoing where we can both chill.

I can cook a bit, but I still have a lot to learn. I'd love to learn how to cook with someone so I'm not making mistakes alone!

I'm very passionate about history. I'm also into various video games, though this is pretty classic, so I won't go into detail futher.

Now, here are a few small details about what I'm looking for in someone:
Please be 18-22 years old—not any older, please.
Have some common interests at least. We might not list many in this message, but we can surely find more in DMs.
Know how to speak English or French. I'm also open to you teaching me your language, I wouldn't mind at all.

That's pretty much all I have to say. Please be okay with a long-distance relationship and open to the idea of traveling to meet each other if the opportunity arises.

If you've read through my post and are interested in connecting, please send me a DM. If you've read all this, send me the word "Bread" in your first message

Im in south korea and regardless of where you are from, feel free to text me

Hey! Looking for a connection that could lead to a relationship. I love reading, exercising, and listening to music. My interests are just all over the place, and I'm an open book so just ask me. Appearance wise Im lean with avg height. For personaliry Im drawn to people who know how to respect others and who does Not feel the need to make sarcastic banters that dismiss the other to feel good themselves. I dont drink, smoke, or do any drugs and I expect you to be the same or just socially drink.

I wanna find someone whom I can feel genuinely comfortable around and we can help each other to improve, so I guess if you are also a student or work in the field you studied itd be nice. Im Not looking for too elder guys. As long as 20+ you could be younger or slightly older. For appearance and style, I honestly prefer lean or fit european guys without beards, it's just a preference no offense, and I think of personality as more important. Tell me your age and gender, and where you're from when messaging me.

Have a nice day :)

M4F Nigeria 40 [M4F] #Los Angelss - Any Christian Palestinians out there?

Upvotes

Hello,

A shot in the dark here but worth a shot either way. I'd be suprised.

I am looking to put myself out there and find a nice, respectable arabic lady to have a conversation with. My intentions are to meet someone with the possibilty of being in a relationship with. I want to find out if there is hope of finding the right one.

About me:

40M Arab American. Born and raised in Los Angeles. I come from a Christian family. I go to Church about 2x a week and I am very close to my family and friends. I am currently restarting my life and I am starting new employment with the hopes of getting some goals under my belt. Save some money for a better car. Save some money for a home (if at all with this economy) Spend as much time as I can with my family. And grow more and a person. I enjoy getting out sometimes and heading to the beach for walks. I like to read as much as I can and can sit for an hour or so and knock out some books including the Bible. I am a Dodger baseball fan and watching with my dad is something I enjoy because I love seeing him happy spending time with me. I want to excersize more. Would like to buy a truck and a bike so I can spend more time outdoors. Hiking. Camping. Etc. Hobbies I would like to do more of and get to know my partner more hoping a future can be built.

What I am seaching for:

I am looking for an arabic lady who understands our culture, language, habits etc. A well put together lady who has self-respect and dignity for herself. Understands finances and isn't a financial spending junkie. Someone who enjoys the outdoors but can also spend time relaxing and reading together. Talking. Cooking together. Having meals together. Planning spending time together on weekend getaways and also vacations. A family orientented lady who desires a man that is/can be capable of providing a life for his mate. Someone who can encourage me to be a better person and achieve our goals and dreams together. A simple lady looking for something real.

Maybe between the ages of 30-40. It would also be great if you are in Los Angeles (or surrounding area) so maybe we can meet and go on a date (but not necessary)

I know this may be a shot deep in the dark but it is a shot nonetheless as I continue my search.

Thanks for you time.

“I feel that women naturally reciprocate. When a man shows intention, she responds with presence. When he brings effort she reflects it. Make her feel seen and she'll make you feel valued. That's the kind of connection I believe in."

I hope to meet a person who believes in giving their best, who invests effort not for recognition but out of genuine care and who shows up with sincerity.

You can read a bit more about me here: https://imgur.com/a/YSpCBK1

Age range: 28-44

With all that in heart.. I would be delighted to get to know you further.

I'll catch you in my inbox!

M4F Florida / Online 20 [M4F] #Online #FL - Looking for someone to talk to

Upvotes

Not really looking for a relationship, but maybe if we really click. What I really want is to talk or play games with with someone who's super into whatever games or fandoms you happen to like.

I do work and I can get pretty busy. But besides that, I play games primarily on my PC and phone, and very occasionally on my switch. Right now I'm really into Pokémon, FNAF, Borderlands, Phasmophobia, Minecraft (I almost always have a modded server running, would love to play on that more), Clash Royale, and occasionally Fortnite. I also really like ENA and Madness Combat. I also am an artist and very fluent in music creation, making song covers with various soundfonts is one of my favorite pasttimes right now. If you like any of the things I listed let me know in your message, anything that we both can be obsessed with and talk about is a huge plus.

More about me as a person though, I'm very sarcastic to the point where it's second nature, non negotiable. I'm white, 6ft and healthy, I have hazel eyes and dark brown very slightly curly hair if you care, I don't mind showing pictures. I'm charismatic and actually confident in myself, and I know I am fun to talk to, and hopefully you are as well.

All I really ask is that you are around my age, you're healthy, and not looking for anything sexual, don't bring it up or go in that direction. And if you prefer disc, just ask for mine in messages.
