I immediately disabled them because they did the thing where the post window loads, I pasted in the text I was going to post (it was just a link) but then it cleared the box because something hadn't finished loading and I ABWHORE that kind of poo poo

macos does it if you try to type in your password too fast when open lappy


controversial opinion time - don't let peple type into text boxes if the text box isn't actually ready

yeah that kind of thing fucks me off so much lol

it's the worst when it happens on my macbook coz i'll type out my password and hit enter, but lo and behold, the first few characters got chopped off.

is it really so hard to leave the text field closed to input until it's ready? apparently so


what's frustrating is that I don't think turning it off fixes it, this literally unplayable bug is now a permanent friend of ours, at least I've had it happen to me even after turning it off

long ago UI designers decided that it was better to display things as soon as possible regardless of if everything else was loaded and renderable or if the displayed objects were usable yet. it effectively hides loading times and makes everything "feel" very snappy, since you see simple things pop up immediately, but at the cost of actual usability. the biggest and most noticeable headache is obviously when objects that are loaded late push everything else around the screen so you click on the wrong thing as the button you were aiming for spontaneously jumps several inches away. I'm sure AB testing shows that people prefer this though.

i'm excited for this new minor annoyance of having text just vanish a second after i am able to type into the field. at least with the macos password thing it won't even display the dots so you can type the first character and see if it appears to know if the text field is actually active

meanwhile on my linux desktop i can type my entire password, hit enter, and be logged in before the screen even wakes from sleep

very convenient, especially when it turns out the screen wasn't even locked and i was actually typing into a chat window

OH MY loving GOD I HATE THIS


windows is a real bad one, if you have explorer up and have it as a list that's wrapping, and you click a filename to the right (where the filename is too long for the window and is partially hidden) it won't just select it but itll scroll the window for you

I can't help but wonder how many non technical women and children have been hosed over by this behaviour.

at the very least when this kind of thing happens, allow a second of grace so the person can see what the gently caress happened, rather than the second click of the double click going to a different file

I'm mad bro
