I use a Google Docs spreadsheet for the laughably simple job of tracking sales of DVDs. Rows of buyers, columns for the purchaser information, address, how paid, and boxes for the number of each title. The most complicated thing on this sheet is a sum for the quantity of each title and a sum of those.
But someone at Google has decided to add some “features” that are driving me NUTS! It is constantly automatically saving, and the focus cell is constantly moving. It probably makes sense to people who use spreadsheets, but in my case, I’ll have entered data in a cell, then scroll to another place in the sheet to look for another name and the focus cell “helpfully” pops up without my having selected anything. And the content of the previously entered data has fucking vanished!
What the fuck is going on? Google, why did you do this?
Yeah, I haven’t seen this, but I have seen tons of bugs in Google Maps. Is there any chance that ythe OP has some sort of malware problem? I’ve seen some suspicious behavior on computers that I suspect has a keylogger on it due to very sluggish performance.
Forgot to mention, I also am using the latest version of Firefox and not seeing the problem. My spreadsheet is extremely simple and has no equations, so that may be a factor as well.
Perhaps you can make a copy of the spreadsheet without any personal information, see that the problem still reproduces in the copy, then make the copy publicly assessable (read only) and give us a link here.
There is a not insubstantial number of businesses who use Google docs as a paid service. While the OP may not be paying, he may be subject to irritating behaviour that does affect paid customers.
That said, it seems like it’s a local problem. I haven’t noticed that behaviour either.
Yet another person finding no trouble on my own copy of Google spreadsheets. Out of curiosity, are you noticing any unusual behavior on other applications? I’m almost wondering whether you have a cursor issue which is causing the random jumping.
Listen you steaming pusillanimous pile of shit, I’m going to ride your picayune pipsqueak ass in the pit. I’m amazed an asshole of your size can still manage to retain anything. There’s nothing worse than cretinoid collection of rotting cells who thinks he is anything but a dimwitted mentally masturbating sloth. If you want to call me out have the guts to start your own pit thread instead of slinging stones from the safety of a crowd that has to hold their noses in your presence. Go crawl back into the dysenterious toilet you crawled out of and flush on the way down.
Nice one, well done! I learned a couple of new words there.
I still think your comment is an exercise in assclownery, as it betrays a lack of understanding of the nature of the products that google and other ‘free’ services really have to offer, a lack of understanding of the morality of complaining about something that you depend on for some reason but that does not work as it should, and a lack of understanding of the nature of the pit, which is there to offer a voice to those who like to complain about their first world problems without being shouted down by some thread shitting fungdark with apparently nothing better to do than to point out that other people’s complaints have no merit. For fuck’s sake, who the hell needs that?
