Basically when reviewing a low quality post, if I choose to edit the item, I cannot move the cursor by clicking in the textarea. The keyboard is working fine, but any mouse interaction appears to be disabled.

The issue only appears if you review one item first, then the next item is loaded in. Editing this item will have disabled mouse input.

I haven't tested other review queues yet but will do so as soon as possible.
This seems to only affect low-quality posts.

Browsers I've tested:

Broken

  • Chrome 33, Win 7
  • Chrome 34, Win 7 | OSX Mavericks
  • Chrome 36, Win 7
  • Firefox 28, Win 7
  • Safari 8, Yosemite

Working

  • Safari 7 OSX Mavericks (Intermittent)

    Reproduced in Chrome 33 on OSX Mavericks, no-repro in Safari. Can't even move focus to edit summary text box.

  • Here's another user with the same general issue. A comment there suggested it might be related to a browser add-on or user script. No confirmation this is the problem, but if you are still experiencing this problem, it might be worth keeping an eye on that post too.

  • Thanks @psubsee2003 I don't think it's a user scripts issue seems to only be an issue after the Ajax reload

    @AshleyMedway the OP of the other question said effectively the same, so I've voted to close it as a duplicate of this since it seems to be the same issue.

  • I just answered went through 40 questions in the close queue without having the error, but on the second question in the Low-Quality queue, I got the error. Contrary to the OP's edit, I haven't gotten the problem in queues other than Low-Quality.

    It's probably worth noting that I'm doing all of my edits on StackOverflow. Has anyone reproduced this on another network? (i.e. does this question belong on MSE or MSO?)

    I'm having a hard time trying to reproduce this (as in: so far I haven't been able to), but I'm trying, and I do have some ideas.

    Okay, thanks a lot. I'll fix the little outstanding issue tomorrow and then mark this status-completed, but be sure to let me know if it comes back after all.

This was a bug with the popup that gives you some pre-made comments to post when deleting or recommending deletion. Since this functionality is only available in the Low Quality Posts queue, the bug only appeared in that queue. It wasn't consistently reproducible because you had to previously have had a review where you recommended deletion for this issue to appear.

That bug was fixed a week ago (it was another symptom of this bug), except for a very small remaining problem where only the very first click after deletion may do nothing, but only in very unlikely circumstances. This remaining bug is also fixed in the next build.
