Weird Macro Results - Can Anyone Explain?

1380418264

Edited 1380418329
I am trying to create a macro to emote some text and then perform an attack roll. This is what I want to do: /em --->> @{selected|token_name} attacks! /roll {d20!!+?{Modifier|0}}>?{AC|0} The prompts appear and work fine, with an expected result to appear as: Result: The emote works fine as does the prompts in line 2, but the 2nd line simply responds with a text message in chat rather than a text message and then the roll result. However, the 2nd line works fine typed in directly to the chat (see image). If a macro simply has line 2. such as: /roll {d20!!+?{Modifier|0}}>?{AC|0} Then this may or may not work every time - sometimes what I want, sometimes just the text again - see image below. Each line starting with /roll is a separate use of the macro. Now, when I use a single macro to nest the two single line macros, I get the same problem result as a single macro - only text output, no roll result. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

If I understand things correctly. the /r can not have anything in front of it including spaces. Try making them inline rolls instead.
there are no spaces the gap in the first code piece there is from the editor

Not sure if this is important: but my Turn Order dialog looks like: Buttons at bottom are weird!

That is how it looks on my phone. All the buttons are letters and numbers.

Robert , I still need the support details, additionally, are you on the Dev or Main server? - Gauss
Main server, Gauss - btw, how do I send support details - what is the recipient's email address?
Robert, to get the support details go to <a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> and paste the information here. Make sure to NOT include the IP address since you don't want to be giving that out on the forums and it's not necessary for troubleshooting anyway. :)
don't worry, i will put it here:

Robert, please post a screenshot of your entire browser while Roll20 is loaded. Also, could you please hit Ctrl+Shift+J and check your console for any errors in red? Relate them here please. - Gauss
Here it is: (I have reduced the image to reduce file size.

Robert, I am thinking that you may have an extension interfering. Please deactivate your extensions and plugins and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, reactivate them one at a time until you find out which extension is interfering.
Righto, cheers.
So I started Roll20 in a Chrome incognito browser and the interface displays correctly so you must be correct Gauss, a conflict is occurring - I will need to find out which extension. If I remember, I will let you know which one it is. I have also found out that Metroknight, the first poster to respond, was initially correct. There was a character before the /r and even though I did try to correct it in the editor, I must have missed it and that is why the spaces reappeared. Today, when I went back to the macro, I noticed the cursor did not move a space as I was using the arrow keys to move in the line of text. Aha! I thought, there is something there - it turned out to be a hidden character, which I promptly deleted and everything works now - thank you Metroknight. Thank you all who provided input into this mystery.
Right, I found the culprit extension - it is Download Accelerator Plus v2.1.0.1. I will let their devs know of the issue. Once again 10Q to everyone, I have learnt some more lessons to remember. :-)

you are welcome and I am glad it was as simple as a hidden character and you discoverimg the misbehaving extension.
