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!

Wow, that's unexpected!

- Are you seeing this from the quickreply, or just the big, on-its-own-page comment form?
- On all your devices, or just one computer?
- Are you using any password manager extensions?
- Are you using any DW-specific browser extensions?
- Do you have your browser configured to remember login form fields?

I only have one guess right now for what's causing it — I rearranged the HTML in the big login form the other day to fix a bug, and it might have messed with something on your computer that expected the form fields to always be in a specific order.

There's a (username, password, log-in-checkbox) group in the big comment form, and it's supposed to be hidden and blanked out if you have "currently logged in user" selected, but if something is filling it out for you while it's still hidden, that *might* cause what you're seeing.

Best bet would be to try and make your browser or lastpass or whatever forget what's supposed to go in that comment form, then re-teach it how the form works. Good luck!

I think it was probably a lastpass/firefox issue, as I have logged out and in a few times and haven't had the issue again. Thank you!

Ahahahah! As soon as I said that it happened again. Here is a screenshot:

Currently using Firefox 67.0.4 (64-bit, extensions are Lastpass, Foxclocks, HTTPS everywhere, Privacy Badger, Pintrest button, Startpage.com

Like I said, I don't think it's a big deal and nothing else seems to be broken. It's just curious.
