Quoting broken on Windows Phone 8
-
No it doesn't. I still can't quote more than a single word.
I can but I still wouldn't classify it as 'works fine'. Half of the time I'm having trouble because it keeps triggering the flags, like or other buttons or even better the 'quote' pop-up overlaps with the reply-arrow making neither of them accessible.
-
Problem still exists for me.
Also, re Win8: if the browser you want to launch is the default browser, and you're launching from a Windows Store App or the Start screen, and it's not currently open in desktop mode in its primary (Win7) Shell App ID*, and it's one of the three Chromium versions, two Firefox Aurora versions, or three IE versions to support the feature, then it will launch in immersive mode, otherwise it will launch in desktop mode.
*: In IE, certain pinned sites like SharePoint also specify a different App ID, so browsers launched from the pin don't count as IE for taskbar or app launch purposes, despite being IE in every other way.

That gets you this:
Normal pinned IE, Pinned IE-only (MS) WebApp & SharePoint

Well, to be fair, the market share for Windows Phone has done fuckall since then too ;)
-
Hey, it's a larger market than Android Browser and all Opera everywhere combined.
-
Opera
That's not even an argument these days since it's WebKit anyway. Unless you mean versions <=12 in which case... Yeah, even I gave up on it since more and more sites fail to load properly.
There are bits broken in Vivaldi though if you want to go extremely niche, but it's Vivaldi's fault in this case, really (some keyboard shortcuts don't get properly prevented from getting to the UI itself so Ctrl+Z both undoes the changes in editor and reopens the last closed tab, for example).
-
For the record, we are happy to fix this but don't have a win phone to even test this on and the emulator does not emulate the issue.
-
Oh yeah, that $90 retail cost is a real ball-buster. Just admit you give no shits, I'd rather have honesty and broken software than lies and broken software.

What about the one Jeff said you have for testing?

well given the relative geographic locations of @sam and @codinghorror i doubt sam gets a chance to borrow it for debugging very often.

But all codinghorror has to do is throw it really hard across the Pacific…
-
That just means @codinghorror is doing it wrong. He has someone willing to test with one, but keeps it to himself so he can ignore it's market share.
-
very old, plus only @neil has it and his plate it 100% full at the moment
with customer work.
-
Yes, so he should mail it to you. Or you could get Jeff to buy a new one (it isn't expensive), thereby increasing the marketshare in the only way he actually cares about (him personally owning one) and improving the experience of his unwanted customers (customer work, perhaps?).
-
If only there was a service one could use that had all sorts of different browsers one could use to test--a stack of browsers one might say.

I think it has. The reply box has a habit of jumping around, sometimes off screen completely.
-
Yeah that is what I noticed. Is there a mobile platform discourse actually works on or even discoworks on?
-
Does a Surface Pro 3 count as mobile?
-

i don't think so....
but if it does count then it only works when you use a physical keyboard. thanks to the fixed positioning of the editor the only way to see wheat you are typing with the OSK is to use IE in metro mode (DO NOT WANT) or to unmaximize the browser and play around with positioning so the bottom of the browser window is above the top of the OSK
EDIT:
My love has corrected me on this. it's only an issue if you use the undocked OSK. (which is the default AFAIK). the docked OSK works just fine.
-
Jeff uses an iPhone, which is the One True Mobile, so it works on the model he has.
-
If a certain group of people gave a fuck about layout issues, Android in desktop mode on flagship phones would work pretty well.
But they refuse to make modal popups usable in that way of use (I have to landscape my phone and wait for the browser UI to hide in order to interact with certain popups).
-
is to use IE in metro mode (DO NOT WANT)
I do keep Chrome for when it breaks, but most of the time it actually poses very little problems. Except with Discourse, obviously.

got to admit it... IE11 is pretty good. even in metro mode.
not quite good enough to make me convert, but it's finally a decent browser in its own right. (dev tools still need a lot of work though)
-
If Microsoft ever puts Windows 10 on my Icon, I'll tell you guys how well whatever browser it uses works. So far, they've managed to miss their own flagship twice (this time due to 'scaling issues' apparently).
-

I find in some ways it's actually better than Chrome.
-
Agreed. I find them much better, but they can be unstable every now and again.

They blow up somewhat in compat mode (opening dev tools refreshes the page - WTF?), and they don't seem to exist on Modern IE. Other than that, a dev console is a dev console is a dev console.

in some ways, yes, but then there's this:

and this:
They blow up <snip> in compat mode
and let's not forget this:
they don't <snip> exist on Modern IE
.... yeah. dev tools for IE need some work.

FIX: text was impossible to quote on Windows Phone · discourse/discourse@9e16e03
A platform for community discussion. Free, open, simple. - FIX: text was impossible to quote on Windows Phone · discourse/discourse@9e16e03
Great job whoever designed these APIs and events on Windows Phone, there appears to be NO event we can listen to that will tell us the it just displayed that "copy text thingy". So I debounce, and fire our "where the hell is the cursor" routine a bit less frequently on Windows Phone 8, cause unfortunately due to JS being insane the only way to figure out where the cursor is, is to ninja an element into the DOM something that mucks up with selection.
Thanks @accalia for the Windows Phone.
Its deployed on meta you can try it out there @blakeyrat
-
This probably won't fix Metro IE and Dolphin. Is the debounce so bad that you can't make it the default, instead of sniffing UA?
-
I am not really sure I want to add the debounce on desktop, but maybe I can extend it to all touch.
-
It seems to work well. Thanks Sam!
-
Oh noes, is there dissention in the ranks!? Don't you know Sam that if the market share is low, you're supposed to make the product even more broken and shitty than normal? That's Atwood Law!
You're gonna get your ass fired!
Well I guess we can breathe a sign a relief as long as you're still introducing new bugs faster than you're fixing old ones. I'm sure your crack QA team consisting of ... ... ... is right on top of that!
There is nothing I hate more than the fact that morons can use this buggy piece of shit software and actually like it. Goddamned. Discourse is everything wrong with modern software development. EVERYTHING. And with a douchebag in charge, as an added bonus.
-
That's how blakey says thanks, @sam.
-
-
Do you enjoy giving people a hard scolding instead of saying thanks?
-
The end-goal here is for Discourse to die. The best "thanks" I could get from Sam is him sabotaging the company then quitting.

More winphone news, the 1/22 post counter no longer bounces up and down as you scroll, cause it turns out we forgot to put an invisible outline around a fixed element
-
Not sure what's the bigger
, the cause or the fix 
-
I was being a bit sarcastic, the "fix" is crazy, was recommended by the winphone team, unneeded on edge
-
...yeah, still unsure what is the bigger
-
I wonder if WP internet browser will become better after W10 and Edge.
I was thinking of buying WP at some point, but the news lately aren't encouraging.
-
On most sites it's fine; the issues do seem limited to Discourse
-
It's really not that bad, it's pretty close to android speed maybe faster and totally usable to me
-
It wasn't the speed I was talking about, more the funny little quirks that get triggered, like the green navbar thing going wandering
-
Let me know if you notice any other glitches, the winphone team seem really eager to help here.
