There's a bug where after drawing by holding the mouse button and then releasing, you keep drawing anyway. I think it affects several puzzle types, but for Masyu I think I can now put my finger on it: I start drawing by pressing the button on a wall, then moving the mouse. If I release the mouse button while on a wall, drawing stops. But if I release it over the centre of a cell, it keeps drawing after releasing the mouse button. (This is with Safari / OS X.)

Other things I've noticed: No text input, e.g. can't type numbers for Sudoku. (I guess that's probably just not implemented in the Javascript applets?) And then the applets tend to get quite slow after a while solving some of the larger puzzles. It seems like something doesn't scale nicely with size of solution?

But despite the bugs, I love the site, thank you!

Thanks for the alerting us to this bug. We will look into this incorrect drawing behavior.

As for your other comments: you are correct that keyboard use is not yet implemented. The performance is also a known concern. It is indeed related to the number of shapes that are drawn.

I am glad you enjoy the site and as it is now. I think the current "javascript applet" is still in its early stages, usable but far from perfect. We plan to make it better, but truthfully our development efforts are progressing at a slow pace at the moment.

I'm still encountering the line dragging bug. It gets to be a nuisance sometimes.

I can confirm the same on Opera / Linux. I would rather use Chromium, but since last upgrade it has a problem with local data, more widely but in PP's case it means that an unfinished puzzle would show as clear the next time. So for now I'm coping with Opera.

The dragging nuisance has been avoided by me if I stop the dragging and then click a single spot.
