@malcolm_ocean you should use another position for tooltip, however, we have auto-positioning in version v1.0.0

@Malcolm_Ocean sorry Malcolm, I'll get on that right away. In the mean while, could you hit refresh and see if the issue persists?

@volleyworks Goes away postrefresh. One weird thing I did is I selected a bunch of text at one point and deleted it? Also Ctrl+A doesnt work

@malcolm_ocean Hmm good to know it went away, did the alert show up after you deleted the text?

@volleyworks no, when I hit send on a totally different card. Excited to use this, btw! Looks like it could be a real game changer!

@malcolm_ocean Some items require ties to keep the cords together, however these should be reduced. I'll pass along your feedback. ^JY

@AmazonHelp I mean, these were just cords, in a box. The box would have sufficed to keep them together, methinks :)

Textbooks with questions but no answers at the back might as well not have questions. Feedback is crucial.

@Malcolm_Ocean Strong disagree. Questions are hard to come up with on your own. Answers you can compare with others.

@uWaterlooSE but feeeedback! What if I don't have others to compare to. What if compilers never printed error messages?

@Malcolm_Ocean JavaScript prints error messages? If you don't have error messages, then you run the program and laboriously compare output.

@uWaterlooSE Oh sure. But that's not the ideal case. And I'm saying that textbook design, in the ideal case, means answers at the back.

@madebyloren and then also about 5 minutes to make it so if you haven't saved and you try to close the tab then you get "wait are you sure?"

@Malcolm_Ocean you're right, that's a good call. Did the share navigate you away from the page?

@madebyloren No, but the link I sent my friends had just the boilerplate text, which was silly.
