I had to refresh the page once or twice throughout my play time because of key issues.

That problem with the enter key making it jump around sections is there in the web version too! A few weeks back I spent a lot of time compiling a wiki, and that combined with the lag of the web version absolutely drove me nuts!

Refreshing the page will clear any console shenanigans you've added (unless you changed state).

Refreshing the page once did away with this.

I only notice it specifically if I do reload the page. Or are you saying you have to reload more than once?

Yeah, I’ve had this happen too, but all you need to do is refresh the tab. Not exactly worth writing home about.

Sorry, I can't reproduce this. Does refresh helps you?

Epilepsy warning: if you finish it you might have a page refresh bug where it constantly keeps refreshing (with flashing content) the page - for me it was solved by clearing localStorage (or just close the page I guess), I think this bug needs to be fixed ASAP.

Often when it happens refresh isn't even enough, I have to do a duplicate tab operation. I had that issue on mobile for a long time, now I have it on desktop too. O boy.

Yeah, refreshing fixes it but it just happens again after 10-15 seconds again.

I'm not sure why, but it made me wait ~8 seconds after each click. Really frustrating.

buf | karma 3038 | avg karma 6.83 · | 2018-04-24 17:37:50+00:00

Good point. I had this problem too, but there is a setting ...somewhere, to fix it.

The tool freezes sometimes - The elements stop working until you refresh the page

P.S: Great tool. Loved it

I thought I was going crazy fighting with their staff about the existence of this bug.

It makes it maddening trying to get on a website, and having to wait for the vault. Input queues up in the meantime, meaning I can't click or type on other things. Then suddenly, my mouse will shoot around the screen and my characters will get typed to wherever I was.

Recently I switched on a mode in where I have to manually refresh to see changes, maybe you have accidentally done that as well.

You also might see full page refreshes when the heartbeat fails which can be very annoying.

ashconnor | karma 926 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2012-02-07 16:33:36+00:00

Maybe a reset button somewhere on the page could solve this?

boraoztunc | karma 494 | avg karma 3.03 · | 2021-06-21 06:31:19

This is my habit as well. Rarely click refresh button.

laumars | karma 12945 | avg karma 2.49 · | 2020-11-07 23:07:35+00:00

This happens to me all the time too. Sometimes it’s genuine user error (I have Firefox focused instead of an Slack or $TERM) and sometimes it’s the UI being glitchy, but each time I get a sudden moment of dread as I see the page updating in seemingly random ways.

Whoever thought hotkeys without modifier keys we’re a good thing needs to be taken back to UI/UX school and retaught the basics of predictable interfaces.

Hi I'm Marc the developer of Mojeek. Sorry about this, I'm aware it's happening too often and will look into it. If you press refresh twice without doing anything else that should fix it.
