CDpedia Comments field

For some reason, if the Comments field is empty it is still showing in the Display section - whereas all other fields only show if there is information contained within the field. This never used to be the case, and as I haven't altered any of my Preferences settings I'm assuming it's a bug.

Working as it should in DVDpedia.

Which version of CDpedia are you running and what details view template do you have selected?

Are you sure the Comments field is completely empty and doesn't include a space or something like that? I've been trying to repeat the problem here but the Comments field only shows up when information is present for me.

Please select a number of CDs and use the edit command to open the edit multiple. Then check the comments field and leave blank and press OK. If that fixes the issues, it means there must be some blank lines in the comments field. Repeat the above with select all. Otherwise please send us your Database.cdpd file so we can take a look here.

This is weird!

It was indeed a space in the field causing the problem - however, this wasn't just on one CD but about a dozen all for the same artist. If it had only been the one I could have put it down to a mistake on my part, but for it to happen to that many is really odd. Putting blank space(s) in the Comments field is something I just don't do!!

Never mind. Problem solved. Many thanks. :D
