Firefox.
Lets say for example I am on the main page in the preview pane.
I have on my clipboard a code that is only going to take effect on the thread list page.
I go find where I need to place it in the stylesheet, and paste it in. I forget that i haven't loaded the page I need to to see the changes be made, so I now go into the thread list.
The code I pasted does not work, even though it DOES work. It just doesn't show as taking effect in the preview pane.
There's a couple of ways I have found to "fix" this:
1 - I can undo and then re-paste. Then it works and shows the changes.
2 - I can highlight all the code I just pasted, and re-paste. Again, it then updates the preview and works.
3 - I can erase the last character on the last line of the code, and re-enter said character. It then again, reloads the preview, rendering it working.
I just think it should work when you go from one page to another.
An example code is this:
That in my eyes isn't exactly huge, right? Yet if I paste that in when I am in the preview pane on the main page, and then go to the thread list, it doesn't work. So I have to use one of those 3 methods above to check to see if it is simply the preview not updating, or if there is an error in the code.
Edit:
Just to add, this wasn't the first time it has happened to me, it's happened A LOT. Even with 1 line of short code.
It's just a HUGE pain and annoyance when you're trying to go through stuff to fix/update, and you have to do unnecessary things like those 3 methods I mentioned.
