Wow, I found a really obscure bug (?) in LJ :)

First, I set my mood in a recent post to 'impresse', by typing the mood in by hand and accidentally hitting ENTER (which posts the entry) before I'd finished typing 'impressed'.

Second, I go back in and add a 'd' on the end and submit the corrected entry.

Third, I look at it, and it now has the mood icon for 'impressed', which turns out to be a default mood anyway, but it still reads 'impresse'.

Looking at the edit page again, it now shows 'impressed' selected on the drop-down menu, but when posted it displays the mood entered into the free-text box. No matter how often I altered the text in the free-text box to be 'impressed', it kept reverting to 'impresse'. It has let me set it to 'impresse[d]' though. Quirky :)

I wonder if this can be used to set inappropriate mood icons for things, by selecting a happy-face mood with the menu and putting a negative sounding mood into the free-text box... this post will answer that question :)
