profile Edit profile closing unexpectedly

[Nitroblast]

When I open profile, then go to edit profile and then signature - if I highlight the entire text and my cursor goes off the pop-up window and I then let go of my mouse click, the pop-up closes.

 

Just seems like a small bug.

I agree, but what would my photography teacher say??? "it must be a glitch with your monitor"

[Enderman]

thats because a button depress is what registers a click

and the windows is designed to close when you click outside of it

so dont move your cursor off a window if your button is pressed down

 

this is not a bug, this is how computers work

I understand what you're saying, but when I'm highlighting things with my cursor I do it fairly fast so it just closes without me realizing what happened at first.

then you need some better mouse control, maybe turn your dpi down a bit, or practice not swinging your mouse across the screen to highlight a sentence

My mouse is probably gonna slip off even if I did adjust the DPI if I don't think about it twice. There's probably an easy fix, for example Google doesn't have this:

Just thought I might point it out as a slight user interface flaw.

but does that window close when you just normally click outside it?

Yeah, we're aware of the issue, and it was reported to the forum software devs months ago, but remains unfixed.

oh ok

i guess it checks if first presses off the windows

i dont think they would be able to change that on the forum themselves though, thats a problem with ipboard

Ah. I thought it might be an issue with the custom styling. Thanks man.
