Scrolling with middle mouse placeholder
-
Continuing the discussion from It doesn't break anything:
Jesus fuck why did discourse scroll to the top of this topic while I was middle mouse clicked scrolling down and your post came streaming in?
Fucking fuck.

Don't you remember? Middle-click scrolling is "wrong":

(the original bug in that topic is also one of yours, also related to middle-click scrolling)

You know what really pisses me off about Discourse is the fucking main topic menu. The subforum e.g. CodeSOD, Coding Help etc looks like a button. So I thumb the button because every other website on mobile has a call to action styled as a button.
The actual link is the whole rectangular area but it doesn't look like a button or a link ... if it had an arrow on the right hand side it would be fine.
FUCK I am writing my own forum software because I think I can do better than Jeff in my spare time.

I just tried it and could not reproduce it.
Steps I took:
- Find topic
- click middle mouse button
- scroll down using the scroll-thing
- hope a new post comes streaming in
- have a new post come streaming in (lucky :D )
- nothing changes
- ???????
- reply here
Firefox 32 or whatever is the recent version

Yeah, but that one was talking about the scrolly icon and javascript events. I can at least accept a technical limitation as a reason not to patch.

Of course. I wasn't debating that.
All I was pointing out is that it likely won't get patched because Atwood is of a firm belief that middle-click scrolling is a hack itself and he won't bother with anything around it, regardless that it is a feature of the browsers and truly are bugs in Discourse.

So... Bold marks get interpreted as italics when quoted.
Unless you did select quote reply, and did only 1 asterisk?
-
No, that's a "I tried to fix it so your quote showed up with the formatting" and I didn't even look at the preview to see if I'd gotten it right..
Distracted at work and it's Friday.

The above edit/reply is exactly how quote timing mismatches happen, the json has to go to the server and get sent back out before you see it. On my screen I replied before @ChaosTheEternal, but timestamps indicate otherwise.

Well that's fine for quote timing mismatches, but the bug I had reported was when Dicsourse claimed I made the post 2 minutes ago when it was more like 2 seconds ago.
Or is there a bug I forgot?

I filed that one, there's one you forgot and I WBA to go look it up.
