Update Mar 4: Reported it here.
There is this bug with the Nextcloud menu bar that, when you collapse it, there is a moment of jank where everything is overlapped, and the corner is sharp and looks bad.
At first, I thought I’d report it in the nextcloud/tasks app where I saw it but then I noticed (as you can see in this video) that it also happens in contacts and files.
Nextcloud has plenty of problems but I use it regularly and want to do my part to improve the polish. It shouldn’t be terribly hard to update the css transitions to make a less jank experience for tons of people. I reported a similar tiny janky CSS issue in tasks here today (yay).
This comes after seeing some posts (which I can’t find now) about software quality that inspired me to try to improve a few things that have bothered me. Yay FOSS :)
At first, I thought nextcloud/server might be the place to report it, but that is a super busy repo. I tried digging through the related issues but don’t see anything that jumps out at me as the problem. If I open a low-priority issue like this there, it probably won’t get looked at. At the same time, if I spend time digging in and finding a fix without discussion, there is a decent chance it’ll either be already fixed or considered not important enough to review among the 100s of open PRs.
Anywhoo, this turned out more of me writing this all just to realize I should probably give them the benefit of the doubt and open an issue even if I’m not totally sure it’s the right place but I’ll still post the question here: How would you go about finding the right place to report this and maybe even get a fix in? Or maybe have some related stories to share?
Nextcloud is widely thought to be too desperate to push new features onto their corporate product for PR and then fail to fix an ever growing list of bugs. Their ver. 28 was utterly full of bugs, even more so than regular.
They also may push a feature/app only to abandon it later. I am running an instance and if I see something else that is comparable, I would consider switching.
Never tried to colab part but the maps in your link is live. I have the app. Is no Google Maps but is not crap either.
PS: I am on 27.X , will not be moving to 28 for a while. Too many issues.
Yeah, i have been using nextcloud for 4 years or so. Never had an actual breaking bug. 28.2. Nextcloud will simply not work anymore. It has 0 error messages in the log, everything will initialize, but I simply can’t connect and log in to it. The log in screen does not show up.
Not only that, but when I leave it running now, it literally almost brings down my entire reverse proxy stack and I can’t access anything from the outside world without a 30 second delay.
My 28.2 has literally nuked itself and everything around it. Since NC doesn’t support downgrading, I am just fucked.
