Web Release Notes: August 25th, 2020

Oh, hello. Thanks for dropping by to check out some of the fixes that we just shipped out in YNAB today. Here’s what we have for you:

When showing errors for direct import issues, sometimes the bank/institution names were adding some weird characters in the name. For example, “Oliver’s Super Fancy Bank” was showing up as “Olivers Super Fancy Bank” and that’s probably not the best name for a bank…though it still is fancy, I guess. So, we fixed this issue, so that these weird characters won’t show up anymore.

In most browsers, you have the ability to expand text areas (i.e. the Account Notes section in YNAB) both horizontally and vertically. But, when you expand the text area horizontally in YNAB, it can “break” the layout as the text area can flow into other areas of the screen.

While we want you to be able to write all of the text in the world (if you want) we don’t want you to have to choose between writing a lot of text and breaking the layout. So, we have disallowed horizontal expansion of text areas, BUT we still allow vertical expansion, which will allow you to write EVERYTHING without breaking the layout.
