Came here to say this. I cannot fathom how this is considered usable at all. There are also times that you click on the block of code to read, and it sends you back to the top of the page.

I'm more interested now in how this application got pushed to production in its current state.

Sorry about this bug! We're working on a fix now.

Definitely one of the biggest challenges in building this product is getting the annotation interface to work consistently in a “host page” environment over which we have pretty much no control or advanced knowledge. So for instance, the jump-you-to-the-top bug isn't something we've seen in the general case; we're currently getting to the bottom of why it's happening on this particular page.

I noticed it happened on the last annotation that was at the edge of the screen. It looks like you position the annotation box at this height. That might have something to do with it.

Also, after a long piece of annotated text its annoying that the box pops up at the very bottom of the text rather than side by side.

I just want the comments in a fixed window that is draggable so i can put it where i want. I think that would make everyone happy...or at least be better.

Great content tho, enjoying the read.

I am facing the same problem. I am going back to top of the page when I click on the long block of code.
