I can no longer find any forum or submission form for reporting problems to Google. You're a bunch of tech-savvy people using Google Groups and, probably in many cases, gmail. Do any of you know either:
1. How to report problems to Google nowadays, in such a way that they will actually receive attention rather than disappear down a black hole? 2. How to avoid weirdness like this: I was catching up on the long clooj thread, and when I was about halfway down suddenly the browser started spinning and then loaded the gmail login page with my username filled in but a blank password field! I didn't hit anything but MWHEELUP or MWHEELDN proximate to this event, so it seems as if somehow *someone else* clicked the "signout" link in the top right corner on my behalf. (The mouse pointer FWIW was nowhere near there and my hands were off the keyboard, so no mis-click or mis-key could have caused it.) This should not be possible, yet it happened. Worse, the "back" button did not DTRT and return me to the page I was reading and my position partway down that page, even though it should have still been in my browser's cache after such a short absence (ten seconds? Less?). So I wound up losing my place in the thread and it took me several minutes to find the exact right spot again. Obviously frustrating, and since I didn't do anything wrong to deserve such frustration, this behavior of the browser is obviously incorrect. AFAICT, this falls squarely on Google's shoulders no matter where the bug is: Google Groups is their responsibility, gmail is their responsibility, and the browser I was using was Chrome, which is guess whose responsibility? So, does anyone know what caused this and how to make sure it never, ever, ever, ever, ever happens again? I do NOT want to be in the middle of reading ANY page and suddenly have my browser deciding, on its own initiative, to navigate itself to some other page. EVER. It's MY browser. It goes where *I* tell it to, when *I* tell it to, and NOT BEFORE, and I wish to know how to actually enforce that -- which I shouldn't even have to, as that should be its natural behavior anyway! And don't tell me to ditch Chrome and use Firefox. Recent versions of Firefox have a very similar and inexplicable behavior that can strike on any page and that happens much more frequently: if anything at all slows down the computer, such as something else paging or wool-gathering, Firefox 4 and above will blank the page you were in the middle of reading and hide the tab bar and show a spinning-wheel mouse cursor for a while. Or sometimes, inexplicably, jump to the last YouTube page visited (why YouTube?), render it shoddily (usually with most of the page elements surrounding the media player missing), and sit there unresponsive for a while. Then eventually jump back. I'd take anything else, including a temporarily-nonresponsive browser frozen displaying the same page I was on (which I can at least continue to read until I hit the bottom of the screen!), over that. -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?!
