Loomio bugs, issues and feedback

Sweet; I like this approach… reminded me of the way I can access "All inboxes" in my android gmail app

Maybe "All threads"?

Maybe it should be call "Combined" .. I don't know

@John Gieryn Ok so we're live with a feature for this. "My groups" shows threads from all groups you belong to within the organisation.

Impressions welcome

That is coming.

I wonder if it'll be important to reinstate the ability to see subgroup posts on the parent organization pg (thread tab); I have to do extra clicks to make sure I've seen all content I might need to see from my team unless I use the Unread page (I only started using this feature after 1.5-2 years of Loomio use)

Links don't open a new tab, eg Joriam's links in the context of the thread for "What's New in Loomio 2.0"

Alt mode is me testing two different diffing algorithms, on production, over time. I think the first one gives a more readable result. What do you think?

Curious what "alt mode" is (tick box when I go to Edit History of a thread)

When I've selected the "Facilitate" tab in a thread, clicking "Add comment" doesn't switch it back to "Comment" (likely of little importance: ideally my text-cursor would automatically be in the comment box after clicking)

very very weird. i have loaded it up in firefox and can see no arrows anywhere!

on my to-do list now; but if this gets you there in the meantime — in my Firefox they're just to the right (or even in the form) where the number of items to rank is listed as you edit the poll

yooo @John Gieryn there aren't any up-down arrows in this poll. please share a screenshot if possible!

In rank choice poll creation/editing, clicking the up-down arrows (UI elements) does not alter the number of choices to rank

• slack integration

• inline translation

• teams integration setup

• enable changing group cover image and logo, user profile photo

• allow recactions on outcomes.

• the text I'm typing can disappear off the bottom of the screen, instead of the page automatically shunting up when my cursor moves to a new line.

Invitation form confuses invitations to join group with invitations to participate in a poll/thread, i.e. if your group is out of invitations (for new members), the form does not allow you to invite people to participate in a poll/thread.

• fix select dropdown is annoying on announcement form

• Error: Cannot find module './client.pt-BR.yml'

• score poll voting not working - maybe errors for this from joriam

• ticking "Notify me…" in poll settings should not change the time that the poll ends

• remove serviceworker from angular

It works better with Firefox, so maybe it is in part browser-specific. My problem with using Loomio with Firefox is that with the login process that Loomio uses, Firefox doesn't remember my credentials and so I have to look them up. Safari on the other hand does remember my login, so I tend to use Safari for Loomio.

Thanks for sharing the annoyance - and sorry!

The "taking you to the right place" problem is something we'll have another pass at.

The problem is content is loading above where we took you to, and it is stretching the page, pushing your desired content down below the viewport. I'll take some time to address this soon. There are a couple of ways to approach the problem.

In terms of number 2, I wonder if that's just a bad internet connection or something. Please keep an eye on it and let me know if the condition changes.

I'm having the same issues in ABrowser on GNU/Linux.

This is using Safari on MacOS.

Here's another one - part of the really annoying inability of Loomio 2 to put me where I need to be in a thread. I see a notification in the top right. I click on the notification, on the assumption that it will take me to the place I need to be to see the specifics of the notification and respond to it. In recent days I've seen two things happen:

1. I'm taken to the thread, where for a brief moment I can see the comment or whatever that the notification is linked to, but then the page takes me away from that location and I have to then scroll through the thread to re-find my spot. Mega-annoying.

2. More recently the page is only half-loading, and I'm shown a page that is just a series of numbered boxes, and nothing happens. I've tried to attach a screendump to illustrate this but it looks like it is not uploading - had to remove that in order to activate the 'Post' button

Done today (available in beta 72)

• pin comment to timeline if it has a heading

• put unread indicator back (and include nice fade out when read)

• z-index bug with ranked choice

• after editing a comment the button should read "Save" not "Post"

• X remove - capture dismiss on chip slot

• clicking title of thread in toolbar should scroll to top

Oye 🤗 I don't know if something has been done yet, but the 'text emoticon' is still there today. Just let me know if you need more details 👍

➡️

it's really incredible how much a screenshot helps me understand the problem. Thank you. We should get this fixed today.

thanks 🤗 let me know when it is ok, I'll check. Cause now it appears like that (see picture) and there is no equivalent in the actual emoticon library

Oh, I understand. Thanks for reporting it, we'll fix that too.🔧

Hi @Rob Guthrie, I have the same problem of former Loomio 1.0 emoticons shown as "arrow_right". On july you wrote 'let me know the text' to fix it. I hope it still possible ;-) Thanks a lot 😘

Yikes! I'll get onto these! 🙏

Initial triage of the list:

• I'll look into add link on firefox - it sounds buggy

• I'll def fix upload progress bar

• Each time emoticons show up as text, let me know the text and I'll fix it.

• I'm super surprised editing Loomio 1.0 text failed. Try it again today, I've implemented a converter so you get WYSIWYG editing of 1.0 text. Screenshot if it's still weird.

• I'll look into score poll voting not working. I have recorded app errors from you.

• Did the choice loading reload the app, or did it just take a breather for some reason.

• X to remove option will be fixed

• Ranked choice Zindex will be fixed

• I'm surprised about losing your place while linking... It does not move the screen... what's going on I wonder? A video would be very helpful

• Heading text buttons are for lines of text only. That's just how they are.

Well, just spent a whole bunch of hours fiddling with the beta to record videos — and found some bugs/weird things. I was using Firefox on a Macbook Pro (screen resolution 2880 x 1800).

Here they are:

— Unresponsive "add link": most of the times, adding a link in the thread editor works, sometimes it just doesn't. I click apply and nothing happens (even the link window doesn't close, it just sits there)

— Invisible loading bar: the files are uploaded alright, but I can't see the progress. It always goes from zero to done, even with 20mb files that take more than a minute to up

— Temperamental italic and bold buttons: sometimes (1 out of 15 +-) the buttons just don't work. I click, nothing happens happens. At first I thought it was my mistake, but I had recorded footage to prove I actually clicked the right place

— Time poll bad layout: the time polls here are a designer's nightmare, as seen here

— Selection bug with "add link": in the thread and comment editor, I select the word I want to turn into a link, then I click the link icon on top of it, it opens this window asking for the url, I ctrl+V an url — but the copied text doesn't go to the new window, but it's added to the text I was editing, thus deleting the word I was trying to link

— Loomio 1.0 emoticons showing as weird text: former Loomio 1.0 checkbox emoticons are shown as "white_check_mark"

— Editing Loomio 1.0: I tried to edit an Assembly Sprint thread just to remove the "white_check_mark" and use a thread as an example. Everything went to hell after that, the text was all weird and full of weird marks. Had to go back to Loomio 1.0 to fix it.

— Score decision sometimes won't let me vote: once I tried to create a Score decision and it just didn't let me vote, just showing me a weird letter thing. I took a pic. When I tried again, it worked

— Choice loading time: not exactly a bug, but I noticed in the video editor that when I clicked to create a new choice decision, it loaded for almost 7 whole seconds. It felt like a lot

— Ranked option creation, "x" is not deleting: While creating a ranked choice decision, I tried to delete one of my tentative choices before posting by clicking the "X" symbol next to it, but nothing happened. When I clicked any other part of the tentative choice, it would delete it, just the "X" didn't work

— Unvoted ranked choices overlap text: as seen here

— After adding a link, I don't know where I'm at: just after adding a link to a specific word in the text editor, when I go back to the text, I'm not seeing what I left behind (not sure if it's the text selection that moves or just the scroll). In bigger texts like this comment, this makes me confused

— Headings text buttons affect everything: the H1 H2 H3 heading text buttons turn 100% of the text into heading, not just my selection

Thanks Graham. I'm not quite sure how to solve this yet. I'll think it over.

Using the little notification thing top right I can click on a notification and it takes to the right place in the relevant thread, for a second or two, then the rest of the content on that thread/page appears to populate the page, and I'm now looking at some other part of that thread (presumably an older part), so I then have to manually scroll to find the bit that the notification was about. Very annoying, especially when I can see that Loomio knows where I should be in the thread. Using Safari on MacOS.

Process improvement: I'll move done items to comments each day or so. Here's initial commit.

Though I'm enjoying interacting this thread, it doesn't turn up in my Recent Threads

Pretty sure this is because john 'pinned' it.

I don't know what it means that john's comment is in that right-hand menu. Perhaps the facilitator is particularly drawing it to my attention?

yeah, nah, i get it. I guess I'm wondering if I can invent new meaning with this as my grudging argument.

Yeah the awkwardness might be in my head only

Oh, I guess so. I've always thought people used them to return to where they had gotten up to.

Mmm… tells me I've made a choice at some past time to save my spot. That's a similar vibe I suppose.

Yes... What does a bookmark tell you though? (when used in a book)

Idea, for what it's worth: replace the unread icon, which feels really bookmarky to me, with the unread message count in a circle.

Number of check poll responses not centered in the icon:

⭐ from 1.0 not working

Is there a way to see who have been invited to a thread? What "Thread participants" used to communicate?

Loomio: It's a little unclear to me whether I'm commenting specifically ON my poll, or just generally in this thread full of polls and chat.

Also, I wanted to edit (re-word) some of the poll options while I was adding them, but clicking on options I've written just instantly deleted them. It's a bit annoying and reminds me of the bastardy way Gmail (until very recently) didn't let you edit email addresses after you've entered them into the 'To:' field. They just become an object you have to delete and type again from scratch.

Trusting we'll get Ctrl+Enter back for submitting as well? Think I saw that on the roadmap :)

All in all ruddy exciting

Worth changing the message here to something like "No results returned for your search"? The italicised info is also eye catching but probably low priority

When looking for the number of people in a group, I noticed some formatting oddity

My hunch is there is an "affirmative no" which is different from "passive no". I'm guessing some of the passive No's are actually If-Need-Be's. Happy to wait and see if this is a real problem or if I just made it up.

I'm not sure we're on the same page.

People don't actually choose No, all bars would be the same length if we included no votes. Is this what you want?

hey @Robert Guthrie I think I want to see the "no" votes on the time poll results.

If Option A has 2 greens and 3 yellows, and Option B has 3 greens and 3 reds, I want to pick Option A. But the results chart only shows me greens and yellows so Option B will look more attractive.
