Firebase trashes comments if two people are working at the same time. #240

Suggested fix to diable Firebase for now.

Can you provide steps to reproduce this?

arfon commented 8 years ago

Two people viewing the same paper (in review state).
Both start writing a new issue
One saves, the other looses their (currently unsaved) annotation

Seems like it's probably re-drawing/loading the annotations when Firebase is triggered which is trashing the local (unsaved) annotation.

I think the simplest, easiest fix is to probably drop Firebase for now.

I can drop Firebase but then we will lose the automatic updating/synchronizing of comments. I'll have to think about it. Maybe there is a way to delay the updates from Firebase.
