Javascript on Journals: last call ( I mean it this time! )

[fu]

The last code push included some small and not-so-small fixes to the javascript on journals beta. The biggest visible change is that various items have a completely different look -- this includes dialog boxes on your journal when you try to track comments, and the contextualhover menu. Further details are in my entry to dw-styles (Upcoming changes to contextual hover menu styling (beta) ).

I believe that all the worst bugs for javascript on journals have been reported and fixed. Soon we plan to switch everyone over to the new version, with the ability to opt-out in case any annoying bugs are found once it's had more eyes on it. We'll post about it when that happens.

Please continue to let us know in the comments if you run into any issues, so we can fix them ASAP!

Hi! I'm sorry if this is unrelated to the current code push, since I only just noticed: the journal entry compose page now has customizable panels, which is nifty, but the panels don't act the way I expect them to when I click checkboxes. They aren't persistent (I keep unchecking Currents, why does it keep coming back? Whereas I keep re-checking Comments and they keep disappearing!)

That sounds as though your preferences aren't being saved! When you customize your options on the beta customize page, are you certain to hit the "Save" button?

Yup! The first time it happened, I thought, "Oh, duh, save button." But even though I made sure to do that afterwards, I keep getting checkboxes that uncheck/check by themselves! I made changes, hit Save, and then realized I'd forgotten X box, and when I clicked Settings again, the checkboxes were in the old pattern (I always notice Currents and Comments, because I _DON'T_ want Currents, and want Comments.)

If it helps, I'm on Windows 7, and in this iteration I'm using IE 10.0.9. (Two accounts, different browsers. The other account still uses the old compose style because I found the beta aggravating a LONG time ago when the beta was new.)
