Transliteration appears over wrong word; over preceding word

[cspotcode]

I believe there is a bug in LingQ’s reader UI which places annotations over the wrong words, such that each one appears one word too early.

I suspect that LingQ’s reader UI has an off-by-one error that causes ruby annotations to appear above the wrong word. Instead of appearing over the correct word, they appear above the preceding word.

Here is an example:

The hiragana すいみん should appear above 睡眠. You can verify this yourself my looking up the word in a dictionary: 睡眠 - Jisho.org

The exact same issues happens for the next annotation in the same screenshot: it should appear over the next word.

Looking at the HTML markup, we see this:

<ruby class="sentence-item--ruby "><span id="w268" class="sentence-item lingq-word lingq-status-0 is-selected">だから</span><rt class="sentence-item--transliteration has-text-dark has-text-weight-medium">すいみん</rt></ruby>

In this example, the annotation すいみん – the same one I mentioned earlier – appears above the wrong word, だから.

Thanks, we will investigate that.

Would it help for me to share a link to my imported lesson? I’m not sure the best way to do that, but perhaps it helps reproduce the issue.

Hi @cspotcode !
Yes, please, share a link to your lesson here or in a private message.

@Denys_B did you resolve this? I sent the lesson in a DM but never heard back from you.

I am now seeing the opposite problem: transliterations appearing over the following word. But it’s inconsistent, very messy, I can’t trust what LingQ is showing me at all.

Here is what I’m seeing. I’ve annotated this screenshot with colored boxes linking the transliteration with the word that it should appear over. For example, the number 3 is pronounced san / さん yet the さん annotation appears later in the sentence.
