Browser behaving badly: Flock
Flock was behaving rather naughtily for me yesterday … when I dragged a browser window around it would snap to odd places on my screen.
After it happened a few times I thought I’d take a movie of it, and here it is.
I’m dragging it to the left, and when it moves to the right (or once right up to the top of the screen) it is moving “by itself.” It doesn’t happen every time, but most of the time.
Ghost in the machine, apparently …
Don’t let this scare you off Flock - it’s a great browser (as I blog about here) and this disappeared after a simple quit and restart of the application.

John - heh, that video was funny to watch. I’m not sure why that was happening, that’s a new one to me. I’ll forward it to the support/QA folks and see if they have any idea. I’m sure they’ll get a chuckle out of your video regardless.
Cheers,

Hi John,
We have seen this once before, put have found no way to duplicate it or isolate the problem.
Thanks for the funny video. If you have any clues to reproduce this issue, please let us know.
All the best to you,

I really don’t know how to reproduce it … it hasn’t happened after that one time.
Thanks for noticing, though!
