Well, ctrl+z (undo) now works in all browsers. This has been a longstanding bug, but I finally traced the problem down to (of all things) the character counter.

I have no clue why the character counter was causing ctrl+z to not work in IE, Chrome, and Safari. Nonetheless, the two were conflicting. And given the choice between one or the other, I much rather have the ability to undo rather than have a character counter.

In the process of doing this, I also made some changes to the autosave feature, which is what I originally thought was causing the issue. From now on, posts will only autosave every 15 seconds rather than every time you type a character. This should help reduce some server load.

Aha! I wondered why the character counter wasn't there anymore. You removed it as I was typing in a massive post. When I hit preview and saw the character counter gone, I thought my post was so long it'd broken it. :P

Awesome to the Ctrl Z. :)

Yes! This has nothing to do with my complaint, does it? ;)

Due to you and one other person! Before you wrote up the bug report, I had no idea the bug even existed.



I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
