Yeah. Any position or size change is almost always a no-no. Even if you don't thrash the layout, you could shift your event targets and get caught in a thrash.

I weep for this new generation of web developers. So much more complexity, leaving little time for studying and nailing well-established HCI principles, which used to be less of an issue when web was simpler.
What vexes me is that I learned these principles from companies like Google in the first place.
- noduerme 4y agoI learned them the hard way by designing reflow typography layouts in the late 90s and early 00's, mixed with interactive elements; and later thinking out whole sites with layouts that weren't reliant on a particular DOM or browser. It's a bit stunning to me that Google taught any of these principles at any point beyond eliminating all the art. Which to me was the beautiful part of the early web. I have literally no idea what people are learning now in academies before being set loose to do front-end work, but obviously it's mediated through so many libraries that they haven't had much time to consider what's going on behind low-level user interactions and load sequences.
