BIND DNS server trailing dots

[navennn]

Hi,
In previous versions there always used to be a trailing dot at the end of the DNS records. Right now, in the newest version that dot is gone. Is there a way to reenable this? Is this a bug or a feature?

abc.test.test**.** IN A 3.2.2.2 ;x

In the zone file, a dot at the end is needed for absolute records. However, it doesn't appear in the UI because it's confusing for users.

[navennn]

Well. In older versions it did appear. So now it is more confusing for users when in one version it does and in another it doesn't appear.

Can you post a screenshot of the entire page you're referring to?

[navennn]

Servers -> BIND DNS Server -> Double-click zone -> Address records (or cname or anything...)

See comparison with the old webmin:

You're right ... it actually looks like the Authentic theme is doing this.

@qooob - is the theme changing the appearance of this page?

It is true, I could reproduce it. Maybe it's unintentional leak from some nearby parts of the code. I remember I made a feature for splitting lines on Setup DNSSEC Key for DS record for parent zone :. I will take a look and patch it and some other bugs in 19.01 release.

This issue is going to be fixed in 19.01 release tomorrow.
