Description Matthew Flaschen 2013-01-26 06:36:53 UTC
When you get to the edit screen, the guider is shown below showing you where to click preview.

However, if you click the big text box before scrolling down, you'll never see it.

The same applies on the step showing you where to click Save.

One simple way around this would be setting closeOnClickOutside to false for those steps, so you would need to do one of:

* Press ESC
* Click X
* Click Okay
* Click what you're prompted (e.g. Preview).

I think this is acceptable in certain cases.  There are other UX possibilities too.

Just conferred with Munaf, and you're definitely right here. Let's disable closeOnClickOutside for the preview, edit, and save steps.

Steven clarified, and we don't want it on the one showing them how/why to click the edit tab.
