Code push has happened!

Hi all, I'm preparing to do a code push. You can see the latest code tour here: https://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/214638.html

Hang on to your hats!

Edit: The code has pushed! As always, please let us know if you see anything wonky or broken and we'll get on it!

Known Issues - Fixed 'em Maybe?


* Font size was way too small. We've tweaked them to be larger, but would welcome more feedback!
* Lack of ability to horizontally resize comment area. This has been fixed, you can drag the box horizontally again like you should be able to!
* A couple of style issues have been found and fixed.
* An issue affecting some Navigation strips has been fixed.
* An issue affecting syndicated accounts, proxied images, and a couple other worker related tasks were broken. They're better now.
* We've made some updates to the design of the comment reply form, we brought back the browse button, made the subject line full-width, and some other tweaks. Please let us know what you think!
* The RTE on the old create entry form is returned to service. A few more months, that's all we ask of you old friend...
* OpenID was broken, it's back.
* Button sizes are reset to default, we are no longer trying to make things line up. Let the ziggurat design pattern live on.
* Polls should show properly sized bars again.
* Lots more Android issues, we had to murder the unused spellcheck button to make it work out. Some weird interactions with differently sized elements and our ancient HTML.

Known Issues - Pending


* Related, some fields seem to have gone emo and are putting on heavy eyeliner (have bold, dark outlines). We're aware.

All known issues are being investigated and will be fixed! Please hang tight while we work on it :)

If you are reporting something visual, please let us know what browser/device you're on!

ok as an update from my testing friends, the coding seems to affect different monitor sizes and screen resolutions differently, as it pertains to font size, comment box size, and i think even button size.

the font size inside the comment box is great for a lot of us now, for example, but for those with 16/17 inch screens and wider, it shrinks in relativity.

on mobile apps of the same browsers these users are using, it doesn't necessarily behave the same way - mobile chrome users report gigantic font appearance, so there may be another line of code that still needs implementing to mimic what you've done for PC/mac chrome.

just wanted to offer that to you guys for review purposes!

I'm one of the code testing friends with a widescreen 17in monitor, and as of this posting on my laptop the text is better for me in the box! It's not tiny or huge. I don't normally post from mobile however, and when someone told me about some issues there I thought I'd take a poke and just...

link is it supposed to be this huge? If so then fantastic! If not, I thought you'd like to know. (that's taken from a Motorola Moto Z2 Play Android in Mobile Chrome).
