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!

oh huh, that clipping issue is weird - I'm seeing it in Firefox for Ubuntu. I don't think we made any changes that would cause that, though I'll poke around some and see!

Well, it's also possible that it existed before and I just never noticed, LOL! (It is a rather tiny visual glitch that you almost have to be looking for to have it brought to one's attention.) I was looking particularly to see if everything looked right because of the post, and that's when I noticed it. But if you weren't aware of this existing before (and I would assume someone else would have said something), then I wish you the best of luck finding the change that caused it. :)

Also, I should've taken a picture of the comment box because I'm seeing another issue there (which I was too focused on commenting the first time to have it in my conscious awareness) - the More Options button is insisting on hanging down on a second line, no matter how wide I drag the comment box. And unlike the person above who said it was DWTools that borked things up, I do not have any extensions on my Firefox that should be rearranging how DW looks at all. Let me know if you need a screenshot of this or if my description of the issue is clear enough.

I think I found the issue, so hopefully we'll have it sorted shortly!

I think if it had been just this I'd have chalked it up to a Firefox update or something, but then other weirdness started showing up in other layouts, so it was a good data point to have.
