@boomzilla That'd be on-page Javascript intercepting the Enter keypress and triggering the form submission for you. I have no idea why Firefox is letting JS see that keypress though.
I won't say that's impossible but I don't think so. Chrome acts like I'd expect (enter selects the value and doesn't submit the form). But I'm using a framework here so I have no idea what all is happening there. I know that I haven't put any extra js to do that in there.

I take it back. Experiments confirm that something js-wise is apparently happening in FF that isn't happening in Chrome.

Fucking hell, Google, stop changing icons.
Hmm, our Sheets icon looks like a spreadsheet. That's too useful
what if we took out all the visual indicators, and made it look like a flag instead?
Yeah, then it will be barely recognizable as anything, let alone a spreadsheet program!(bookmark still has old favico for reference)

FTFY maybe. New icon (if you knew what it was) looks a bit more like a zoomed out spreadsheet, at least as far as the header row and column lines are concerned.

WordPress 5's page editor is . Try to do something in the code view instead of visual view, and every time you save the page, it grabs some random subset of the code editor's text and pastes it right into the middle somewhere else, usually resulting in completely invalid HTML that breaks the entire page.

You can still use the classic editor.
Support for the Classic Editor plugin will remain in WordPress through 2021.
No need to suffer until 2021

If you use the "Edit Image" dialog to add a caption or set alignment, about half the time it splats invalid BBcode into the Visual Editor (you know, the WYSIWYG editor and not the code editor where such BBcode might be valid if it was well-formed) and breaks the page. At best, nobody at WordPress even tried the new editor before pushing it out. At worst, it was sabotaged by a disgruntled employee before they revoked his source control access, and nobody else knows enough to revert it or fix it.
-
@mott555 Oh yeah, for extra WTF-iness, that "Use the classic WordPress editor" button on the right does nothing. It's not a button. It's just a label and clicking it has no effect.

So it's an instruction? "Don't use this buggy , use the classic WordPress editor instead?"

I think the word "install" is a bit overused here:
EDIT: Obviously the top radio button was initially selected, because who's stopping Foxit from trying to foist trialware on innocent people?
-
@JBert What happens if you have the radio button set to Install but press Don't Install? Or vice versa?
-
@loopback0
The software gets installed, of course.
-
@loopback0 No idea, I didn't want my machine to be ransacked.
I assume "Don't Install " is a "Cancel" button, top radio button + Install likely leads to highway robbery.

@loopback0 Nasal demons come and install three hundred search bars on your browser.
-
@loopback0 & @others: not sure if you realize the radio button is asking about a different piece of software than the one being updated.

What problems? Who knows!!!?!?

@Tsaukpaetra said in UI Bites:

Fuck it. Since the operation in question is effectively "Tell Source Control that this folder is a mirror image of this folder", I'm just going to copy the folder into the replacement and see if that "fixes" it.
This will take forever as it collects 65k files in its lists...

Didn't help.
According to Perforce, the error (in the log, had to enable that to see the errors. WTF.) indicates I'm moving something, but that the file I'm moving to isn't in the same changelist to submit.
Considering I don't have any such changelists that contain these files, I'm at a loss. So I am setting up a brand new workspace to do the copy and trash it immediately. Because fuck everything about source control, I guess.

It's a very interesting example.
To everyday people, it looks like a very minor oversight.
To us, it screams "what kind of development practices and QA allow that to happen in a major operating system?!"EDIT: I'm not talking about the misalignment, which is sloppy but has a somewhat reasonable explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/a61yu9/literally_uncalculateable_explained/
I'm taking about the fact that the right edge of the square root button is slanted.Who's this us? It makes me think "how little do you have in your life that you go looking for single pixel alignment issues?"

Maybe. I'm debugging their cooker now. Apparently, if it doesn't get cached for all platforms I'm cooking for, it just gets shoved back into the cooker.... Insane.

Turns out,
CookPlatformDataCacheSettings
had a value for Texture2D that was apparently too low.This number is the maximum concurrent requests allowed for a given asset type (I assume to throttle disk access so it doesn't thrash?).
It defaults to 50, and there's (I guess) more than 50 in a row that can't be loaded until.... something.
So I smashed it to 500 and all seems well.

Anyways...

Umm...
Not only did you update to a version of Wordpress that's just barely over 3 months old-- and is also the latest version-- and it's the first release of a major version, with no updates, patches or security fixes yet.
To put it softly: are you a goddamn idiot or just massively brain damaged?
