The major gridlines shift 3 cells diagonally when icons are turned on. The entire grid also shifts a few pixels away when icons are on.

Yes there is an issue with the offset square Cell Period Map at the moment. I've disabled it for now (so it will use the square one).

Fixed, thanks!

The major gridline issue should be fixed now. There will be minor differences between icon and cell positioning due to using two different renderers.

When this pattern is Identified, the cell period map shows regions with periods 1, 94, 166, 7802.
On the left side of the cell period map, the label "7802" doesn't fit and extends beyond the grayed background area:

Please let me know:

• Which build of LifeViewer you are using
• Which browser you are using
• Your device
• The following data from Help>Info: Size, Scale, Pixel Ratio and Window Zoom

• Laptop, Ubuntu 22.04 / GNOME 42.9, resolution 1366x768, Firefox 126.0.1, LifeViewer build 1164.
• [browser window opened to full size:]
  Size 600x560, Scale 1.00, Pixel Ratio 1.00, Window Zoom 0.98
• [browser window resized to match my usual workflow:]
  Size 600x560, Scale 1.00, Pixel Ratio 1.00, Window Zoom 0.81

On my end, the label text "7802" doesn't fit in the grayed area, regardless of whether or not the browser window is opened to full size.

For multistate rules like LifeSuper, when I try to load the pattern, lifeviewer says “Invalid character in pattern: <“

On my phone, when I try to load a pattern with multistate (try loading the two kingdoms in Start a Colony thread in the sandbox or try to load the world of cgol role play in sandbox) and for some reason it’s an “invalid pattern”. I don’t know if this works on other devices.

Please be more specific. I have a reasonably generic Android 14 smartphone. I'm able to load the two-kingdoms pattern in my Chrome browser, and run it with no errors.

What type of phone and what browser are you using?

I could reproduce the issue by right click -> Translate to <insert a language> then click SHOW IN VIEWER, no matter what rule the codebox contains.

Try build 1168.

Why?

Maybe bacause their url(https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Rule:B%2BUniv
https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Rule:P%26T)
both have "%xx"

Another bug:
Change rule to "P%26T" will show "Laoading rule" until you do something(e.g. draw).

edit:
but... Maybe something wrong on the second character.

Yes, there was a pass through LifeWiki rule definitions quite recently (see discussion here) to replace rule names that didn't match Golly's suggested limitations:

To allow for possible future extensions in the way Golly handles rule names, it's best to use only letters and digits. Hyphens and underscores are also okay if you need some sort of separator.

It would be best to rename these newly defined "B+Univ" and "P&T" rules so that they don't use special characters in the rule name -- quick, before they get used a lot in pattern posts.

Suggestion:
"B+Univ" - "B_plus_Univ"
"P&T" - "P_and_T"

No link, but while doing things in lifeviewer, I found that when I copy something and try to paste it all I get is an empty paste box of the same dimensions as what I tried to copy.

The glider should turn red gradually, but an error message came up. The "Sync" button is also missing.
