Bug / Feature Request

For the first paragraph in a text box (like this one) hitting return at the end of the line inserts a return but keeps the cursor on the same line.Hitting return a second time will put the cursor on the next line, rather than two lines down. It's only when typing additional text that the cursor will move to the next line. 

The query editor is too tall to fit without scrolling even when maximized on my 1400x1050 screen using normal browser settings. It should at least fit on a 1280x1024 screen, and it would be great if the layout were flexible enough to accommodate a variety of window sizes.

So that I can particpate actively in discussions, I'd like to be able to monitor three sorts of discussions:Ones I have commented in,Ones I on topics I have created or contributed to (like this one), andOnes that are interesting to me.I think the first two should be automatic and available off the home page or my profile. The third should be something I can select manually. On-Freebase monitoring is plenty to start.

To enter this text, I have to click, "You can add it." For other data entry, I double-click on the grey italic text. This is inconsistent, and I often end up double-clicking on "There is no user-contributed description for [topicname]". It'd be better if double-clicking worked for filling in the document field just like it does for other fields.

Viewing an invalid user gets a page that is blank except for a couple of images. For example:http://www.freebase.com/view/user?id=/user/sadfIt's not a big deal, as people shouldn't be hand-editing URLs, but it would be better if it there were some sort of "user not found" message.

Desired outcome: an external http URL link. Actual outcome: an internal freebase URL link because of the "other" type Example: Good URL Example: Bad URL Additional information: to edit the bad URL, the editor must delete the text, unless he knows about the apparently undocumented Microsoft-like Ctrl-K shortcut.

In using the query editor, it would be great to have multiple tabs so that I can have different queries going at the same time. I want this both when I'm trying to a mental stack push and when I want to compare the results from two different queries.I'd also like to be able to have a personal set of saved queries.

In the documentation, most of the examples are of the form:[{ "id|=":["/type/type", "/type/property", "/type/key"], "id":null, "/type/type/properties":[] }]But to make them work in the query editor, you need to enter:{ "query":[{ "/type/type/properties":[], "id":null, "id|=":["/type/type","/type/property","/type/key"] }]}The query edtor should either accept or fix up queries pasted in from the documentation.

thumbnails for png image uploads seem to fail to generate. See Watt steam engine for example. I see only a little white rectangle, but the full image displays fine.

In thinking about applications I'd like to build, I'd don't want to make people authenticate through my app. There's no reason for people to trust me with their pasword, and I'd rather not even know it, so that I can't possibly leak it.In the web links, I've included a couple of links to auth APIs that work more in the style I'd like to see.

There's probably some way to do it with wildcard syntax, but there have already been a few times when I wanted to filter a list of topics in a given type by ones that had a given field set to a non-empty value.  (My motivation for this was to remove all values for that property from existing topics, so that I could change the expected type of that property.)This appears to be a bug.  You should be able to just use * as a wildcard, and this works for non-autocompleting properties (e.g...

When updating article properties, the Ajax update indicator sometimes gets stuck. Refreshing the page seems to be the only way to clear the condition. Sometimes the database update has actually completed, and the refresh shows the new information. Sometimes it hasn't. Trying exactly the same thing a few minutes later can sometimes succeed. I am testing from Massachusetts over a 20Mbit down /2 Mbit up FiOS connection. The browser is IE 7, the OS is Windows XP SP2.

Steps to reproduce Current user invites new use: newguy@example.com New user receives email, clicks on link New user registers, but mistypes email as newguy@exampel.com New user receives no emailNew user returns to site to log in, is told "you must follow the instructions in the account activation email"I couldn't find a way out of this. At minimum, they should be told who to contact if the email never arrived.

When I gave focus to "Where I grew up" and typed in the first few letters of the location, the system offered me the choices illustrated in the accompanying screenshot, the types include "Book", "Person", "Musical Artist" "Person, Deceased Person", none of which are pertinent to asserting a geographic location. I haven't got round to reading the API yet but if it's possible to restrict the search domain to a specific type range then that restriction should be added to that particular form...
