The Geography of the Room

@less_penguiny, your newsletter popup opens over and over again when the user clicks the grey space to close it.

It seems like only clicking the small text link inside it correctly sets the cookie to remember that the user wanted it gone.

This is particularly annoying because it is binded to the scroll so it lets you scroll a few line before displaying again.

Thanks for the heads up, that sounds really annoying. Personally not getting the same, but definitely want to ensure other people aren't affected.

What browser are you using? What adblockers? Any special browser settings?

Edit: I see a potential cause of issues in the scroll handler, and I just deployed the change, so perhaps it's fixed on a refresh?

Here is a video of it happening: https://imgur.com/a/txwwv22

There's at least someone else with the same behavior: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19643824

AHHH thanks, you're a star. Able to reproduce.

I misunderstood your text description and now I know exactly what you mean. It never occurred to me that people click outside the modal rather than on the "x". In retrospect it seems obvious that they would. Will fix.
