Random trollface emojis
-
Since upgrading to 3.2.1 this morning, whenever certain characters or emojis are entered, the trollface emoji appears?!
I mean, it's the perfect emoji for this problem I guess, but still
That emoji seems to come from the Vital pack, which I've disabled, rebuilt emoji assets and done a rebuild / restart of nodebb, but the issue persists.

Does it go away if you disable the emoji plugin entirely? Check and make sure you don't have any custom emoji set up.

This morning I checked and the emoji image had gone, but the emoji code was still being applied whenever certain characters were used, including "£".
I figured if it's doing a "live" replacement of those things then it must be something to do with the "Replace..." options in the plugin settings:
So I disabled them both and did a restart / rebuild. The issue went away.
I re-enabled them 1 by 1 to try and figure out which was causing the problem (rebuilding and restarting each time) and now, they're both re-enabled and the problem has not come back.
So I'm a bit mystified. Evidently it was a problem with one of those options, but setting them again seems to have somehow fixed it.
