Loomio bugs, issues and feedback

safari

^ @Rob Guthrie @Greg Kan not as priority as the one above (one I'm replying to) but -- unrelated bug -- weird to copy an image, paste it and get two attachments in addition to the in-line

at least I'm 90% sure it's Chrome not Safari (checking back... cc @Sukie Conley )

Safari on iOS Can't type as the keyboard that pops up exceeds the window

possibly related: https://github.com/scrumpy/tiptap/issues/451

N.B. this is true of any of the actions that show up in the menu bubble after highlighting some text (only on FF)

FF on Mac OS X First attempt to link something (or make it bold by clicking) fails; second time works fine though. To reproduce:

1. Highlight a bit of text in a draft

2. Click on either the link icon or Bold icon that pops up near the highlighted text

fixed in 362

thread nav does not update when there are new events until refreshed; also does not update when order changes (newest first/oldest first)

@exstral found the pesky bug. fixed now

and we just had another report of this issue. I'll look into it harder!

So I've disabled the extension I use, Privacy Badger, and the built in tracking protection for Firefox. Saving a new profile picture is still broken.

We store uploads to amazon s3, maybe you're blocking that? Please do confirm if disabling your blocker fixes the issue.

We've made significant improvements to the thread code over the last 2 days, and i think that even this thread is much better to use.

Tried it also with Safari. Same problem. Maybe something that only happens with new users? I also have strict third party tracker blocking enabled in all browsers, in case you are using a third party for uploading the photos.

Yes problem is still there. Firefox 70.0.1. Tried a few photos, none works.

hi @exstral , can I ask what browser you're using? would you also be able to try this again and let me know if it still isn't working? i've been unable to reproduce this sadly :(

Hi! First impressions: Looks great! Although scrolling this long thread is incredibly slow and laggy.

Problem: I'm not able to upload a profile picture. I select a file on disk and the upload looks good, the image is shown in the profile info page. But when I click the "Update Profile" button, it reloads and the image is gone. Anyone else having this problem?

I just sent email notifications to one of my groups from the app. Worked fine. If my wife or I strike the issue again, I'll be sure to let you know :)

I just tested with 367, both clicking on a thread from a list, and clicking on a notification. Comments loaded both times. I'll let you know if I hit the problem again. BTW my wife hit the notify by email issue on Firefox 70.0.1 64-bit, on MacOS 10.12.6.

sorry, not the notifications crash. I mean the comments not rendering issue

quick question, does this still happen now (sidebar version 366 or higher)

I'm looking at Loomio.org using Firefox 68.0.2 64-bit (ABrowser distribution), on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit (Trisquel 8.0 distribution). My wife is using Firefox on MacOSX. I'll need to check with her about what versions.

Thanks Strypey. We're unable to reproduce any crashing when adding people to be notified. What browser are you and your wife using?

When I started the thread about making the Loomio blog discoverable in the fediverse, I was accidentally allowed by a bug to email notify the group members of the new thread (sorry!). I noticed that trying to add the group's users in the notification window made the site hang, but as I mentioned in a comment there, I assumed that was because of the size of the group.

But my wife tried to do the same thing today in a group with only 16 members and the same thing happened. She had to cancel out of the pop-up and use 'invite members' to send email notifications to her group. Seems like there's a serious bug with that feature.

how are things going now (383+) ? lots more bugs resolved today.

Upon opening this thread, I don't see any comments. I assumed there weren't any, until I saw the tiny, greyed out text until the comment window saying "125 responses, newest first". When I clicked on the text, assuming that's what I'm meant to do to see the comments, I got a pop-up asking if I wanted to change the display (see attached screenshot):

This changes the layout for everyone, not just you.

Oldest or Newest first?

AFAIK I'm not an admin of this subgroup. Is it correct that I can change the layout for everyone? Also, is it a bug that I can't see the comments?

The rest of this comment assumes it's a feature, and includes a few thoughts about that. If the design goal for this is to get more responses to the OP before users start replying to each others' comments, making users to click to expose comments is probably a good way to do that.

However, if making the display of comments opt-in is a way to reduce load times for opening a thread, that's a good idea, but it might be better to have the notification about responses numbers displayed a bit more prominently? Maybe located between the Context Box and Comment Box, and/or in a more striking text font/size? FWIW allowing the text in the Context Box to be opened up from the thread list would be another way to allows users to browse those without loading comment threads.

Join group button needs thinking:

Thanks and please continue. I'm still fixing bigger issues, but this is helpful.

Micro frustration when writing a comment: I highlight some text, then I click the link icon to open the Insert Link modal. I put in the url and press Apply. It technically works fine, but there's no visual feedback that the link was inserted correctly, because the highlighted text looks the same as it did before it was a link.

Just mentioning in case there's an easy way to change this :)

Thanks David. Still discovering new things in the software one can do every day 😎

one can pin sidebar open from drop down menu top left...🤓

Some feedback on 2.0 from customer using Loomio in a board context:

• Would be useful if the side bar on left hand side could be permanently shown as in previous version (keeps closing)

• Previously the category tags were visible when looking at a group – they are not now which is very inconvenient as these tags were used to help the Board know what to read / how to action.

• Don't really like the feature where attachments show the first page as this looks messy when multiple attachments.

• It was useful that if you exited a thread before posting that the thread saved for next time you opened the thread.

This has to do with the initial setup for the rank poll, and the number of options you've decided need to be ranked:

Problem with the ranking numbers when 'Add another option' is used.  The new options did not get a rank number.

Time poll, adding times Chrome | Windows

The modal went below the screen → no access to the 'add' button,
and hitting Enter etc did not work

Wasn't on my computer so couldn't get any screenshots sorry

fact that may or may not be related: was duplicating screen onto a second display

this is all fixed now. thanks for the report

It should zoom automatically, but right now it only does this after you've scrolled over thread items. Thanks for the report.

I usually have a thread in groups where all the schedule and RSVP polls live. This seems to result in a quite busy/broken Context timeline for said threads. Example:

hi @Matthew Cropp, the issue is actually that this group does not allow members to add new members, but the shareable link button was still showing. a fix for this is coming.

if you want to share this group with someone, you can give them the link to the group itself (i.e. "https://www.loomio.org/community/") and then they can simply click the "join group" button as this is a public group.

Thanks for saying so. I'll look into it next week.

Tried to get the shareable link for this group, and it seemed to hand and fail to generate when I tried.

fixed

When voting on the score poll in awnTpVOv:

Feature request: the Video Embed feature should be able to eat a a link like this https://youtu.be/BVxXRvOQZTY and turn it into a link like https://youtube.com/embed/BVxXRvOQZTY

Right, got it. Some solution will come to mind soon. Thanks for reporting and making it super clear.

That video embed was working in the preview, but not in the published comment. Maybe because it is set to unlisted?

It is here: https://youtu.be/BVxXRvOQZTY

Not exactly a bug, but feels a bit broken: search.

First, I expect there to be a search bar on every screen. I can understand not including it on the thread page, but it seems weird to not have it on the Inbox as I think of that as my "Loomio home page".

More importantly though, the interaction design feels wacky. I recorded this video on my Macbook to illustrate the nuance:

My focus is in the search field, and when I type, the letters don't show up there. They show up in the address bar, which is quite disorienting. The content of the field only updates once the results are in. Intuitively, that feels back-to-front. What I expect to see is the text showing up in the search field, and then eventually the results come in and the URL is updated.

Maybe it would feel less weird if there was a delay, so the search operation is only triggered half a second after I type?

Bug: comment field loses focus.

Occasionally, when I'm writing a long comment on this thread specifically, the comment form loses focus, and my browser tells me it is waiting on ethercalc.org

I don't know how to reproduce it sorry, just logging it here to alleviate some of my frustration.

fixed!

correction: this occurs when a new thread has just been created, and a poll created right after that
