So one customer was updating their content in the CMS, and then called us, saying "Euh, my D is gone?"
"What? Impossible. Must have been a typo."

Next thing ofc you start looking form html format problems, and then on to more exotic things like invisible utf-8 chars that get copypasted from Word or something.

Finall I made a tiny html file with nothing in it but pathological text, that could trigger the bug at will.

The partner responded by being vague and playing dumb. It was never fixed.

Our company had this tech partner who offered a html processor which had the most peculiar bug in one extremely specific input case:
- an opening html tag, like <p>
- then an occurrence of the string "ring" somewhere up until the next closing tag.
- this would trigger a bug which would strip all word-starting d's from sentences in the text content, unless the D was followed by a number.

Probably a hard-to-see regex typo in their code, but we'll never know.
