Unreadable error message during goal creation

This is a sticker one. At least it just prevented me from creating a goal and now I am creating this report and by the end I will have forgotten about the goal I wanted to create which is sad.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Use a desktop PC with firefox (Mozilla Firefox 102.0.1)
  • Create new do more goal (goal type probably doesn’t matter)
  • Click next till you reach the preview page
  • (Accidentally) switch to dashboard by clicking on yourself in the top right
  • Use the back button in the browser to go back to preview page
  • Click next and then finish
  • Get an unreadable error (it pops down too quickly) and get taken back to the preview page
  • Repeat as long as you want

Expected behavior:

Either, let me create my goal, or tell me that I cannot create a goal anymore after going to the dashboard

Actual behavior:

Pretend that I can still create my goal while I cannot

Any update for this? I am having a similar issue.

This one hasn’t made it onto the roadmap yet but we’re doing a lot of infrastructure upgrades that may make this easy soon (instead of the nested quagmire it currently is!).

In the meantime the workaround is to not click around elsewhere in Beeminder while creating a goal. Anxious to hear if you’re running into this bug even without clicking around elsewhere!
