Some minor bugs and aesthetic issues
This version seems pretty solid. A number of the bugs I'd been seeing before have disappeared. However, here are the things I still see in this version. I have a separate list of suggestions I'll post later.
Bugs:
1.a. Refresh doesn't work in inline content view (e.g., a feed has an updated article, but the update doesn't show with the refresh button, only when refresh in the menu is selected).
b. The previously reported problem with the image+summary view is still there (the three articles with picture disappear after clicking the refresh button and they don't come back until view mode is reset).
2.a. If I'm reading a feed with multiple articles in summary mode, after I read an article and go back to the feed, the article still shows up in the firefox "back" button stack as the previous page.
b. From the cover page, click on an "also in" feed then read an article. When I go back I am put on the category page instead of the cover page. I'd like to go back where I came from.
c. The back logic still gets a bit confused when there are no unread articles left in a category. I get in a backup loop between the empty category page and the now-empty last feed page that was being viewed.
3. A backslash is visible in the feed title field of the edit subscription popup if the title has an apostrophe. I also see the backslash in the article title tool tips.
4. Embedded media, like podcasts or youtube, when visible in an article summary show through if a preview pop-up is visible.
5. Feedly probably should give some sort of error message when invalid values are chosen on the preferences page (e.g., a screen width that is larger than 1060).
Minor Aesthetic Issues
1. On the cover page (in feed mode) if titles are longer than one line, they wrap pushing down the feed image and messing up the alignment across feeds. The appearance would be cleaner if the vertical title space was limited so that the images stay aligned.
2. The litttle (i) for the feed menu would make more sense if it was an (m) or something indicating menu. It seems like the "more" menu should be indicated in the same manner.

Inappropriate?Thank you Phil. We will add all of these to the list of the rough edges that need to be polished. Next week is polish week. We will try to see how many we can address. We will keep you posted on our progress.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?1.a reproduced and fixed. Patch will go out as part of 1.0b4.8
1.b do you have the list to the previously reported problem
2.a this seems to be a firefox behavior. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/, clicked on one of the headlines, then clicked on the back button to go back to the homepage and I could see the title of the article page in the firefox back drop down. No?
2.b what do you mean by cover page. Could you please let us know the URL of the page you call cover page?
2.c do you have a set of steps to reproduce that? I would like to make sure that I understand what you mean by backup loop
3. reproducible. we will try to take care of that tomorrow.
4. will look into that.
5. the current preference page is a placeholder for something that overtime will be more sophisticated. We might not be able to get to that one in the near term.
Aesthetic 1. One single line per subscription title enough?
Aesthetic 2. Will look into it. May be just a down arrow/triangle. I am note sure about making it the same thing as the more.
Thanks again for taking the time to submit all these and the extra attention to help make sure that we understand and can reproduce them.

Inappropriate?1a, 3 and aesthetic 1 have been fixed and pushed out as part of 1.0b4.8
we were not able to reproduce 4.
regarding 1.b, 2.b, 2.c, see previous post regarding the additional information we need to try to reproduce those problems.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?4. Another expression of this bug is found when one clicks on the feed menu on a feed page when there is embedded media in the article just below menu. The menu is displayed under the media. See e.g. feed/http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default in inline content view. The most recent article is a Daily Show clip. If I open the feed menu it goes behind the content and if I click on preview I see the embedded video player from the preview and from the article underneath.
1b. Take the same feed referred to in (4). Put in article+summary view. Note the three article summaries displayed horizontally at the top with image boxes. Click on refresh. Now the top three articles are gone. Select article+summary view from the view menu. Now the top three articles are back again.
I'll look at the other items again.

Inappropriate?Ok for 4 with the edit subscription dialog. Will look into it.
Thanks for the details re 1.b I will let you know if I am not able to reproduce it. -
Inappropriate?Re 2b: http://www.feedly.com/feedly#cover
Try this: from the cover page when it's in category mode, click on one of the feed titles listed under the article summaries to go to a feed page. Then click the firefox back button. I usually (but not always) am put on the category page, rather than back to the cover page. Trying a few times will usually cause it to occur if it doesn't the first time.
A variation: from the cover page when it's in its feed mode, click on a feed title to go to the feed page. Then click the firefox back button. I usually (but not always) am put on the category page for a category that contains the feed, rather than back to the cover page. Trying a few times will usually cause it to occur if it doesn't the first time.
Re 2c: Maybe this is necessary if feedly is "smart" about page selection
Go to a category page that has a couple of feeds with unread articles. Read all the articles in all but one of the feeds (going back to the category page in between). When you go back to the category page to read the last feed's articles you are automatically put in the feed page rather than the category page (smart!). Then (with or without reading the articles in the last feed) use the back button. You can't back up to the category page or past it because feedly keeps putting you in a feed page. Even if all the articles have been read. Obviously, a monkey could escape the loop, but it seems odd to not back up to an expected, or at least a sensible place.
Re: 2a:
I was probably attributing behavior like in 2b and 2c to a place where it wasn't occurring. I can't recreate it now. -
Inappropriate?Updating this so that it goes to the top of the pile.
-
Inappropriate?1.b reproduced and fixed. The fix will be included in 1.0b4.20.
-
Inappropriate?2.b partially fixed: the breakcrumb still says: back to the category but the browser back button is fixed so if you use the browser back button once you are looking at the feed, you will go back to the cover. The fix will be part of 1.0b4.20 which will go out later today.
-
Inappropriate?Marking this as closed. We fixed most of these:
We were not able to reproduce 4 on macs. We will look at it on Windows machine.
2.b was partially fixed (see previous note)
2.c not fixed, partly because the shortcut of going directly to the subscription if there is only one subscription with unread articles is heavily used.
We will try to do another polish session in 6-8 weeks once beta 2 is out.
Please try 1.0b4.20 when it goes out later this evening and let us know if there is something in this list that you feel strongly about that was not addressed correctly.
Thanks!!
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Great! Thanks again for being so responsive. I'll look over the new version once it's pushed out.
