filter bug: tags on del.icio.us don't load

[Guest]

I wrote this up on the adblockplus bugzilla: http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14632

SUMMARY
The EasyList subscription contains the keyword *adtag* which matches against
"loadTags" in the URL:
http://del.icio.us/feeds/json/tags/<__a ... k=loadTags
which is one of the JS pages included by del.icio.us when you go to post a new
link.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install the software and the extension
2. subscribe to the EasyList filters
3. go to
http://del.icio.us/<__accountname__>?ur ... _title&v=3
4. tags (user, popular, recommended) are not loaded with AJAX, javascript error
"tags is not defined"

EXPECTED RESULTS
no javascript error. tags are loaded.

WORKAROUND/FIX
(choose one)
1. disable the *adtag* filter from the subscription
2. add del.icio.us to exceptions list
3. fix the filter so that it includes a word boundary - something like
*\badtag* ?

@Guest:

*adtag* is now removed from EasyList as it has negligable impact on most sites. If it shows up again, I will rewrite it differently. So thanx for telling me.

ps: I won't do you any good to post a bug for 3rd-party filters. The filter could result in a false-positive from time-to-time .... but it is not a "bug".

The EasyList is a premade 'suggestion' filter that is developed and maintained SEPARATE from ADP by myself. I have no direct interaction or reaction to Adblock Plus bugs. All EasyList problems should be submitted HERE.
