A comment on Sanding UI. Parent comment

I love fastmail but the webapp does this one thing that drives me crazy: The first (and only the first) email I read triggers a reload of the entire page for some reason. It's pretty quick but very jarring...wish I knew what was going on; anyone else see this?

I'd never used Fastmail and as a sometimes-UI guy, thought I'd check out their 30 day trial to see what all the praise was about. I saw your comment before going, so kept that in mind.

With a brand new user account, I was not at all able to reproduce your issue. I closed the browser and cleared cache and all that, but I did not see an entire page refresh at any point.

Perhaps there's some weird caching issue with your browser, or maybe you've got a browser extension misbehaving? Maybe I'm just lucky? Idk, but hopefully this helps.

I see this. My assumption is its some kind of html/js cache, local storage across browser sessions maybe. And when you click an email it realizes it needs to update.
