Markdown formatting broken in project overview

Alexis Dray

bitbucket cloud: our markdown in README.md is broken / does not render as markdown when we first land on the repository overview page in the web UI.

Within the project, if we click somewhere else, like settings, and then back to source, the README markdown then renders as expected.

does anyone know how to fix this behaviour?

Exact same problem for me, it's been quite a while. It did not bother me so much at first, but for an open source project, the README is pretty essential and having it displayed as a blob of text just makes it useless. It'd be great to know what's happening. Capture d’écran 2018-07-02 à 23.08.40.png

Could you find any more information about this @Alexis Dray?

Alexis Dray

unfortunately no movement on this issue for me

pabuisson

It's a shame... I hope more users will comment on this issue so that it stays on top and visible and would be dealt with by Bitbucket, it's really annoying. No use writing a README file if it's not displayed correctly 😕

Gabriele Ciappelloni

Hi there,

i had the same issue, i solved this disabling the "New source browser experience" feature in Labs into my profile.

Hope this helps!

Gab

pabuisson

Thank you so much Gabriele! Indeed, I tried to disable the "New source browser experience" and the README is displayed as expected again.

Thanks a lot for your help

alexis-magina

Yes, same problem for me. I deactivated the "New source browser experience feature" for now. Pretty useless if the readme only works 10% of the time.

Hope Bitbucket team will fix that soon.

Torben Hein

Thanks a lot

This helped me massive - I never noticed that the rendering broke with this lab and did not drew the connection.

Deactivated - runs as expected again

Yay!

I had the same issue, solved when I pressed CTRL + SHIFT + F5 (Full page refresh)

Probably there is something wrong with state or cache.

Rob Hasker

I'm reasonably sure the problem we were seeing was not a cache issue. It's possible there's been a fix, but we were seeing the incorrect behavior on multiple platforms.

Giovanni Lorenzini_dlgbtu

Thanks a lot for your help ;-)

The-Dung Nguyen

I noticed that problem for months ago but was not bothered until I have to show new team member our markdown documentation. As of February 2019, still not fixed.

mikaspell

It took a lot of time and so nothing is done... This task is NOT SOLVED!

Chris Witte_s3wj15

I've just experienced the issue as well. The workaround to disable "new source browser" experience worked for me. Still broken 9 months after the original report.

Yanice Agoune_l6ehwj

This worked for me as well. Thanks!

Rodrigo Otávio Moraes

Hi, please indicate-me where is 'New source browser experience' config on the labs?

Gabriele Ciappelloni

Please see the Alexis De Moor answer, a few lines above.

Disabling "New source browser experience" does not help

Andraž Kos (@gmail)

The existing fix was patched, now it is broken everywhere.

Gabriele Ciappelloni

the problem still exists and the suggested setting does not help anymore...

Really boring and weird.

Andraž Kos (@gmail)

I've traced it to happening when you try to make numbered list, but use multiline with offset:

1. one

   one b

   one c

2. two

   two b

   two c

Result is

1. one

one b

one c

1. two

two b

two c

its broken in some projects and some not, its broken on Chrome, but works on Opera browser, its really confusing!

plz fix this.

David Heidrich

This is so frustrating. Atlassian, please fix this bug. It's impossible to share readme files with colleagues, people have to view them in a markdown editor.

Morgan Mackay-Payne

For me at least, the option to disable the "broken new source browser experience" seems to have been removed.

Morgan Mackay-Payne

What a joke. How does shit like this pass QA?

Jarad Duersch

Is there a bug reported on this and what is the number? I can't find it

stefan_zmjh4n

Until Atlassian takes a look into this I put a note to all READMEs about the issue pointing to this thread. Some customer teams already asked to move their repos to some alternative solution as they are not able to read a simple README...

Maybe Atlassian will introduce QA if they see us fading away.

Jehannes

Ran into this issue too

Tom Cervenka

Me too.

Tom Cervenka

Good idea. I can't believe they haven't fixed this by now.

Tom Cervenka

You mean it "didn't" work for you, right? I can't even find that setting!

Tom Cervenka

People, please start voting up these posts. Maybe that will get their attention.

Gabriele Ciappelloni

Hi there,

now seems that this issue disappears...

I didn't change anything inside my README files or account settings...

Gab

Works correctly for me now

Shumnan Suengjitsiriroj

Yes, me too !

Danielle Toutoungi

I am still having this issue and cannot see an option to disable "new source browser experience".

Werner_789sc1

Hi,

After so long... still not working.

Bitbucket Cloud, no 'new source browser experience' on Labs config, and Markdonw in README.md or other's is not displayed correctly

Any ETA Atlassian on taking a look at this?

Rizal Gowandy

Welp, still broken almost a year now.

Considering moving the whole project out of Atlassian XD

Janno Schouwenburg

Same here.

Исмаил_Валиев

Same to me.

Tried to use some workarounds, but no luck.

I experience incorrect code blocks display inside list items. For some reason Bitbucket displays them as inline code. "Root level" code blocks works well.

Keith Brown_5h7j1s

I just hit the same problem in July 2020. Something so simple should definitely work right out of the box.

Bruno Justo

The solution I found is to separate the list items with a blank line. For example:

- item 1

- item 2

- item 3

This also works for enumerated lists.

I know it is not the right way, but until they fix the problem, it is the only solution I have found.

mcompte

I can't believe that more than 3 years later this is still not fixed.

My markdown rendered fine just minutes ago, now it is not. I can render it fine in my computer and on GitHub.

So, I guess we only have one way out, moving all our repositories out to another provider.

Fadli Hidayatullah

I solved it by editing the Readme file through Bitbucket

unknown

Yes, great!

But it’s a temporary solution and you have to commit your changes and pull them afterwards to your computer. Whenever you change the file locally and push it to Bitbucket, you have the same problem back.

Armita Safa

I experienced this issue as well. After trying different things, I figured out that if I add extra blank lines above and below the tables and between the listed items, it renders properly.
