[solved] aliens chromium - cant edit/delete posts


Installed aliens chromium today - and its generally working well.
However, I _cannot_ edit or delete posts (here on LQ) - the 'spinner' just keeps spinning when I hit the 'edit'-button.
If I use firefox - no such problem.

You're right. I have no explanation for this behaviour.
I tried a User Agent switcher to see if the Chromium useragent triggers it, but there's no difference.

Edit:

What does work is copying the editing URL into the browser's URL entry field... this edit is the proof.

Edit 2:

Also, double-clicking the Edit button also seems to work.

Also when you mark the forum as read, nothing happens until you refresh the browser.

@alien bob,
Please don't misunderstand me - I am ever so grateful for all your builds, it was meant as a head-ups for something that's not working right.
FYI - 'google-chrome-31.0' does not exhibit this ...

[edit] and you're right - double-clicking the edit-button does it - good enough for me. I'll mark this as 'solved'
