Sometimes I want to post comments that include @-notifications but can't work the names into the comment text organically. In those cases, I write my comment out and then tack on a @JohnDoe
at the end, which works just fine.
Well, it did work, until the otherwise-awesome new name autocompleter was introduced. Now I type out @JohnD
and hit Tab, and the whole name appears, but I can't submit the comment by pressing Enter anymore. The Enter key just does nothing. And actually, it doesn't matter if I tab-complete the name or not.
I don't think it's just me because it happens on multiple computers, although they're both running Win7 Pro and recent Firefoxes. Also, I would understand — but disagree — if this was considered "not a bug, just reword all your comments that end this way."
EDIT:
As the ever-intrepid pseudo-employee Tim Stone pointed out in the comments, what I initially reported is a special case of a more general problem: Enter submission of comments fails whenever the tab complete suggestions are being shown.
@mention
is at the end of the comment).
