BUG: Module Class Suffix in custom html module broken

[mkoontz]

There is a bug where if you add a class to a custom html module using the "Module Class Suffix" box under the "Advanced" tab it replicates the classes entered showing it on the front end twice. Twice meaning that it adds the classes once around the container which includes the Title and a second time around the text inside the custom html module.

To duplicate this, simply add any class you want in the "Module Class Suffix" box for a published custom html module. Preferably a class that you can see such as a border or drop shadow. Make sure the custom html module is published in either one of the "Side" positions or a "Footer" position. It appears to work fine if published elsewhere.

This is also not template specific as I have reproduced this using Protostar, Beez3, and several other 3rd party templates.

Does anyone know if this has been reported previously?

*****
Edited to add the specific positions where the problem is reproducible in the Beez3 template along with pictures. However, as I mentioned before, this problem isn't limited to just the Beez3 template. It is reproducible in Protostar as well as other 3rd party templates I have tried. This is also a clean install of Joomla.

Thanks ... have posted to confirm. Also posted on the devs/bugsquad mailing list https://groups.google.com/d/msg/joomla- ... Z6Eg3-BAAJ

Hopefully the devs will pick up on it soon.

Thank you for working with me on this!

OK the answer is

It's the case for most modules. The reason is that this parameter is used both in the module chrome from the template and the module output itself.

I doubt we can change it without breaking something. Just write your CSS rules so it matches only one instance (eg combine your CSS rule with the other class present)

I wanted to thank you properly for helping with this. It's not the answer I had hoped for but it works. Hopefully this post will help others in the future who run in to the same thing.
