What is meta? ×
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 130 Stack Exchange communities.

While I was answering a question on Stack Overflow I wanted to insert a snippet... but then I changed my mind and pressed on the grayed out space near the snippet window (without releasing the mouse, since my mind was still processing if I should answer or not).

This resulted in the gray area fading out, but leaving me with a white window in the middle.

enter image description here

All sites using Stack Snippets seem to have this behavior.

No repro in Chrome on a Mac here. Please include your OS/browser. –  Anna Lear Oct 2 at 19:16
    
@AnnaLear Tried it on Windows 8/7 with Chrome 37.0.2062.124. You don't have to actually click (mousedown/mouseup) just press on it for 1 second (mousedown) –  Spokey Oct 2 at 19:23
    
Oh, just mousedown... yep, can repro that. Thanks for the report. –  Anna Lear Oct 2 at 19:24

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have fixed the issue and now a mousedown will close the Stack Snippets editor. Previously, this functionality was bound to a click thus the demonstrated issue. This will be live in the next build (meta: > rev 2014.10.2.2623, q&a: > rev 2014.10.2.1907).

Looks like this may have created another bug. –  Ilmari Karonen 2 days ago
    
Haney, if you could post an update to the meta.SE or meta.SO bug reports on the (new) problem, that would be great. I can confirm it continues to happen, even here on meta.SE (which shows rev 2014.10.6.2630). –  T.J. Crowder yesterday
    
Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation. I've patched the bug and it'll be live next build. See link provided by @IlmariKaronen for details. –  Haney 14 hours ago
