Could you provide your environment information that you can see on /admin/info page? It is even better if you provide errors in production.log.

Confirmed the problem. You can create an issue but you will see Internal Server Error when accessing issues#show page.

The issue is reproducible when the text formatting setting is Textile. No problem if the setting is Markdown.

Here is a workaround.

             end unless text.empty?
             if indt.nonzero?

If the string variable text start with " \x0b", the while loop never ends until some error occurs. It is the cause of the error. The regexp /^ {1}\S/ does not match the string " \x0b" because "\x0b" is considered as white-space. In other words, /\S/ matches "\x0b" because "\x0b" is a kind of white-space.

Maybe the regular expression /^ {#{indt}}\S/ is expected to match preceeding space characters and a character other than space char, so it may be expected to match " \x0b" too. But \S does not match "\x0b". It matches not only space character but [^ \t\r\n\f\v]. "\v" is another expression of "\x0b".

Does anyone understand why the implementation of flush_left method is so complicated? I think we can make it simpler like the following:

Thank you for the consideration.
That's exactly the same as my problem. The log looks same as mine.
I will try the suggested workaround. Thank you.

Opps, the cases should be reversed in the description.

No, cases in the description field are correct. 0x20 and 0x0b at the beginning of a line cause the exception.

Sorry, I was confused.
Thank you for preparing patch.
