highlight: icon, notes or contextual menu are missing/invisible or disconnected, can not add notes, can not delete hi...- 132 views
If I set Safari to zoom text only, then zoom in massively, no pencil icon appears; if I imagine where the icon might be, its menu appears, but the massive zoom creates a mess in which a single menu item extends across multiple check boxes:

I've forwarded the collection of bugs to our engineer's attention who specialises in this this area. The bug-fix project is in progress. Thank you for submitting those bugs and helping us to improve from the perspective of users.
I strongly recommend moving some way back towards the behaviour of highlights and menus that was normal to Diigo 3.x.
Requiring the user to move away from the highlight, to work with the highlight, is very unergonomic (and seems to be fraught with problems).
The Diigo 3.x approach, allowing the menu to drop from the highlight (not from some way away from the highlight) was intuitive and easier, and I never had such problems with it :)
2. highlight the heading text

Bug
Pencil icon is missing, and so:
* no contextual menu, and so
* the highlight can not be edited or deleted
* notes can not be stuck.
Environment
Diigolet 4.0b14
Safari 4.0.3 (6531.9) in Mac OS X
See http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/976077

Workaround
1. my library
2. seek and find the bookmark
3. find the highlight
4. remove
5. click the title of the bookmark
6. wait for the page to load
7. load Diigolet and prepare to re-draw the highlight.
* no pencil icon, no contextual menu, so again:
- I can't delete highlights
- I can't stick notes!

Today using Diigolet 4.0b14 with the same page:
* no problem with any of the highlights.
(Incidentally: using my library in management view, I deleted a duplicate highlight, but that duplicate persists in Diigolet.)

Today using Diigolet 4.0b14 with the same page:
* no problem with any of the highlights.
- the pencil icon is barely visible.
I can't work with two of my highlights at http://identi.ca/conversation/11986841#notice-12006606
At http://identi.ca/conversation/12018048#notice-12027915
as usual with Diigolet 4.0b14 the last highlight had:
* a speech bubble
* with the number '1' (one note stuck)
* but no contextual menu.

If I set Safari to zoom text only, then zoom in massively, I can 'force' the pencil icon to appear but still:
* the menu is missing:
- pencil icon is completely hidden, no menu …
- no pencil icon, no menu
* NOTES DO NOT APPEAR :-(
* impossible to add a second note :-(
* impossible to change colour after adding the one and only note :-(
highlight: pencil icon makes all text to the right of the highlight invisible
highlight: pencil icon causes various problems in Diigo Meta

Today using Diigolet 4.0b14 with the same page:
* no problem with any of the highlights
* maybe I used an alternative UI to remove or work around the bugged one.

Some examples from 24th October:
speech bubble icon detached from its highlight, contextual menu missing, highlight not editable
More examples to follow. A most annoying bug. The old Diigolet was far more reliable.
http://github.com/fschulze/mr.developer/issues#issue/9
> Checkout in a fresh buildout
http://github.com/fschulze/mr.developer/issues#issue/11
> Unable to check out git repositories
Only one or two pixels are showing. The vast majority of the icon is missing.
Many other examples, I tire of reporting them.
Diigolet 4.0b14 is very unfriendly compared to the 3.x series :(
I really, really miss the simplicity and reliability of the 3.x versions of Diigolet.
4.x is much more clunky and fiddly.

I can not stick notes to, or change the colour of, my third highlight.
