Hi,

With Google's new feature, comments, while typing a comment in the
textbox, Better GReader keyboard shortcuts still work. For example,
typing 'Very' causes the item to reload (Shift + V keyboard shortcut).
I suggest disabling keyboard shortcuts while the cursor is inside a
comment textbox.

Thanks,
Hao

I can't seem to replicate this. Which user script adds a Shift+V
keyboard shortcut?

It's the Preview Item (Click Button)

Thanks for the updating the script!

The problem is exactly as Hao describes and I'd like to add that when
you type the 'V', it never displays the character either--it just
displays/"undisplays" the article.

HTH & thank you for an excellent Firefox extension!

Yes, you're right, and the user script author fixed the problem. I
included the fix in the new release (preview below, mailing list
only). Here it is:

http://ginatrapani.org/workshop/firefox/bettergreader_0.6.xpi

This version is Firefox 3.1b3 compatible; interestingly, feed favicons
only work in Firefox 3.1 (as per the user script page).

Let me know if there are any issues in this preview and if not, I'll
publish it to the site.

Thank you for addressing this issue so quickly :) Sounds like it was
easy to fix too. (I at least hope it was anyway!)
