Possible automatic post preview glitch?
-
The new WordPress site design seems to be quite troublesome in a lot of ways. Most are down to personal preference, but in just posting now I discovered up to six automatically updating previews clogging the bottom of the page as I wrote. I fail to see the reason for so many separate previews, and they seemed to multiply like tribbles as I wrote, so I imagine this is a glitch?
I also found it bizarrely difficult to actually view my blog once logged in.

It was while I was writing a new post. The layout was completely different, and initially at the bottom there was a preview of the post as it would look on the blog’s home page as I was writing it. It would refresh as I wrote. However, as I went on, I found that there were more of these previews, all exactly the same, each refreshing to show the same updates. Is it maybe a trial of a new design? Because later when I went back to edit the post the composition page was the same as I remember.

Are you clicking on the Preview button? Or are you using an offline editor, such as Windows Live Writer?

Not that I’m aware of. I had just logged in normally and clicked the “new post” link from the little WordPress icon on this new admin bar? That’s why I thought it was part of the new design.

Howdy,
Could you please send us a screenshot so that we can see what you’re referring to?

Hi – sorry this took so long. Here is the first screen grab showing the text and the top of the first live preview:

And in this you can see the doubling of the live preview:

This time when I started there was only the one, but as I kept typing a second appeared. It didn’t go beyond two preview windows this time, but last time as I was typing longer there were a lot more.

Thanks for the screenshots.
Which browser are you using, and on which operating systems?
Can you please try clearing your browser cache and see if this is happening again?

I am on Chrome for Windows 7 and the problem persisted even after clearing my cache, although it did take longer for the multiple previews to appear this time.

Okay, I’m not able to replicate this problem when using Firefox. Could you try switching to Firefox and letting us know if you still see this problem?
http://mozilla.org/firefox/To confirm, it takes a few moments before the duplicate previews show up?
