Tweets flying, choppily, across screen #374

Open jmayoff opened 11 years ago

jmayoff commented 11 years ago

All of a sudden, tweets have started flying diagonally across my screen from top left to bottom right. I haven't made any changes to Silver Bird's options. This wouldn't be that much of a problem if it flew across smoothly, but it doesn't, with tweets often stopping in the middle of the screen obstructing my view of what I'm working on. I'd really just like things to go back to the way they were, where tweets appeared to pop up from the bottom right of my screen. How can I get back to that setting?

I'm currently expiriencing the same issue only on multimonitor: it's seems that this is related to JQuery animation for notification timeout. I brutally removed the animation from the code and there are no more freezing tweets on my screens. As soon as possible, I will submit a patch that introduce a configuration option to disable the animation.

OK, I'll keep an eye out for that. By the way, I really love your extension. I work in a newsroom and the ability to have my tweets popup as they come in, is extremely valuable. Keeps me on top of everything that's going on. Thanks for making it.

What's your Chrome version and platform? I'm trying to reproduce the problem.

Hi, any fix for this on the way?

jmayoff commented 11 years ago

Hi again. I've had to disable the extension because it's just too distracting the way it is. Is there anything I can do on my end, to fix the problem?

losciamano commented 11 years ago

this pull request fix the problem for me: https://github.com/cezarsa/silver_bird/pull/376

Thanks I'll try it tonight

Hi,

What do I do with this? Will you be issuing an update on Chrome Extensions, or is there some way to just click and install?

jmayoff commented 11 years ago

Nevermind. I figured it out. I just replaced the contents of the changed files with these ones and it appears to work.
