bug(YouTube - Return YouTube Dislike): Dislikes may not be visible when using non English language

[n1cKz1]

Bug description

Dislikes show up normally on Shorts, but on regular videos there's just an empty space where the dislikes are supposed to be.
This happens on every video with no exceptions. On videos with a bigger dislike count the empty space is larger, which indicates that the dislikes are there, but are simply not visible for whatever reason. Tried: turning off MIUI's forced dark mode in case that affected anything, reinstalling, clearing data etc.

Error logs

Voting data fetched:
RYDVoteData{videoId=ez5yuXXAqNg, viewCount=257065, likeCount=5099, dislikeCount=63, likePercentage=0.9877954, dislikePercentage=0.012204572}

Replaced:
'5k' with: '5k ◎ 63' using video: ez5yuXXAqNg

Solution

No response

Additional context

According to these logs, it seems the dislikes are fetched normally, so I have zero clue on why they simply aren't visible

The text clipping is caused by the UI span using a horizontal width that is larger than the width YT measured the text to be.

YT measures the text using its own font, and if the device system UI is somehow overriding fonts then the size difference can arise.

Are you using a custom font with MIUI?

For now, you can try turning on compact layout in RYD, and if that still doesn't fix it then turn on app version spoofing and use target 18.33.40 and that definitely will fix it.

Nope

you can try turning on compact layout in RYD

Doesn't seem to help either, i'll have to stick with version spoofing for now

It's not an issue with MIUI, as I'm able to reproduce the problem on a different device when the system font is set to Greek.

It might be something with how YT is measuring Greek text.

Using TextView single line would fix any small differences in measurement, as it doesn't clip entire words.

Yeah just checked as well, dislikes show up fine if I change the language to English

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

It's an off by 1 error. Adding just a single pixel to the width calculation fixes it.

It's probably a bug in Android. Will fix in a moment.

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Fixed on dev release.

You can patch using command line tools, or wait until dev becomes regular release.

@LisoUseInAIKyrios it's been a few months but I just found out this issue still occurs if compact like button is enabled. Should I create a new issue?

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Yes
