Editing with the new Create Entries page

We pushed out editing of your own entries using the new page with this code push. Please bang on it and let us know if you run into any issues specifically when editing an existing entry.

Known issues:

  • Admin editing of community entries still goes to the old view (this is deliberate, because we have something else lined up for admins)
  • Title still says "create entries".

Hmm, that is weird! Do you have any extensions that could be relevant? We've had one other report of this before, but most people haven't had any issues, so it doesn't seem to be a site-wide issue with chrome and the new entry page.

I have AdBlock, Amazon Wishlist, and avast! WebRep installed, but only the wish list was enabled. In theory that shouldn't have any action unless I click on the button for it.

I don't think I've applied Windows patches or Chrome patches since I last posted (without the effect), although since I have rebooted once (for an antivirus update, I really ought to apply the Windows patches) it's possible I'm wrong about some of that. I know the add-ons are all things that were installed before, although again, heck if I know on updates.

I can close the window and repeat the test and it will do it every time, but I am closing one browser tab and have the overall browser remaining open.

In a few minutes (after I read my webcomics with breakfast, and yes I know I'm silly), I'm about to close this browser and have it update to the latest version, and will let you know if it's still doing it.

Okay, now up to date on Chrome Version 26.0.1410.43 m.

Still doing it.

I haven't applied Windows updates or rebooted the computer, nor have I cleared the cache. I lack time to do that - maybe tonight, but it's hard to say.

I do tend to be *very unkind* to my computer. I'm presently running something like 30-35 pages open in Chrome, 5 Windows explorer windows, Windows Live Messenger (which I really ought to disable as they've sunsetted it, but it still starts up and sits there), a copy of Hero Lab, and my usual tray crud. (Which includes CrashPlan, DropBox, and Avast antivirus. Also Snarfer, which is a lightweight RSS reader, but compared to the rest that's not adding much load.)

So it could be an "overloaded computer" sort of thing or a "something wonky in the cache" sort of thing - although again, until yesterday I hadn't posted since March 1 and that one worked, and I *usually* have this computer overloaded, so....

Alas, back to getting ready for work, or I'll be late. Really curious why it's doing this...as annoyances go it's minor, but as technical curiosities go it's driving me nuts. ;)

what's driving us nuts is that we can't reproduce it! like [personal profile] fu said, we've had at least one other report of it so far, but we still haven't managed to make it happen on command for us.

computers! why they gotta be so haaaaard

Huh! Cleared cache, exited the browser completely, and re-entered.

Still doing it.

That leaves a reboot, Windows patches, the Amazon extension (unlikely, but not impossible, nothing is), or...something that's going to stick around. I need a better pointy stick. *pokes it again*

Hey can you try something? In Chrome go to Settings / Preferences, and add a new user. That creates an entire new browser profile (no extensions, etc)

See if the behavior is still the same there. That should tell us if it's something in the browser or something else.

Interesting. No, the new user isn't affected.

But the main one still is, even after patching, rebooting, clearing the cache....

I'm thoroughly puzzled.

Hmmm. Have you tried disabling all the extensions and restarting chrome to see if it's one of those?

Uninstalled the one I never planned to use again, disabled the one that was enabled, cleared the cache, and restarted chrome.

Still happening.

....that is really weird. Ugh. And I can't find anything in settings that would seem to affect that.

...THE HECK?

It's been doing it ever since. It did it on my first post today. And not on the last two I just made. On the same computer. Just...stopped.

Didn't even close the browser in between.

Unless y'all did a code push right then, I have *no idea* how to explain *that*.
