Can you try clicking it a few times? It works for me on click 2.

The Reference box now takes 3 clicks for me, but it doesn't stay shut after a refresh like the other sections do.

Does it take more clicks than the others?

Oh, and post your browser. I can find it out, but it's easier if you tell me.

Same amount of clicks for all 3-4 others I tried. I'm on iPad Safari; I'll go try FF

Same results on FF 3.6.10

K. All good information.

Into another pile of not-me-written code. Ugh.

Should the issue of the Member Recs section not being able to close if it's too close to the LT Recs section be split off into its own bug report? That was something else discussed in the original Bug Collectors thread.

Separate. Ick.

Ok, will report it in the morning if no one else gets to it first.

Both fixed, I think.

Wonderful!

So are we stuck with having to click 3 times the first time we open or close a box?

For now, yes. As is commonly know, I've always hated this feature. It doesn't work for everyone, produces a welter of silly bugs and has to be attended to every time we change anything. I'm not wasting any more time on it now.

Tim, can I just say that, while I'm long aware that you hate this feature, it is probably one of the most important features on LT for me in terms of my 'user experience'. If it wasn't there I would hate the work page, no exaggeration, and my experience of LT as a whole would be compromised. The page contains a barrage of information that is of no interest to me. The ability to customise means that I like this page. I'd love it if the customisation stuck.

Snaps shut rather well for me. I suggest that this is related to a problem higher on the page. Let's keep this open as I plough through bugs to find that.
