Registration Error GRDEvDay
Hi, I get this error:
A critical error has occurred.
Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation.
Here is my post data/URL

Ruby Reline module leaves Terminal in bad state after the last thing was a print without a newline affecting MacOS VoiceOver screenreader users

If using a screenreader like VoiceOver for the Mac and you use Reline.readmultiline , for example in a loop , say in a REPL, and you output a string without terminating the line with a newline, funny things happen to your screenreader. Like, it no longer outputs the characters you type.

This can be easily demonstrated using Docker and 2 images: ruby:2.6 and ruby:3.2 In ruby:2.6 and before, the same program 'irb', Ruby's own REPL does not experience this problem. But in Ruby 2.7 and above, irb was changed to use the new Reline module instead of the venerable Readline, a wrapper around the venerable GNU readline library.
