Know what's annoying?

Know what's annoying? When you've typed out a reply to someone's post and the entire Stream moves and between that last period and hitting Comment you've now clicked on someone's profile, or link, or any of a dozen other things.

Yes, that's annoying.

I know it doesn't fully solve the annoyance, but FWIW I always hit "tab" and then "space" or "enter" to post. No chance on misclicking then!

I think there is a Google Chrome extension that will freeze the stream. I think +Linda Lawrey mentioned something about it a while ago.

I'm pretty much a Ff fan, so I never looked at it.

Not sure how helpful that tid bit is...

Rich LaDuca , there is an extension for that but I don't like using extensions to fix a problem that shouldn't be in the first place.
Rich LaDuca said…
Indeed! Stream should auto-freeze if the comment box is active / expanded.

It is HTML5 right... Shouldn't be that hard to fix... but it is still beta.

Hey... It is fixed!!!

"The implementation is actually quite simple, and something that probably should have been done weeks, if not months ago."

Yes, thankfully!

I have observed an odd side-effect, however...

This is just so smoothly done that It looks almost as if my stream is receiving no updates whatsover, unless I already happen to be at the top and actually SEE a new one appear!

That thought crossed my mind...
So the next step is a little box like what shows up in the Gmail GUI that says something about new items...

Though... It is almost inevitable that something is going to come in.... so scroll up invariably.
Marc Jansen said…
I am by no means complaining, mind you. I just need to adapt to the new behavior.

This is the first time I've been able to check my stream from a PC... let me evaluate the fix! I'm excited!
