Bug report (although this could very well be me being incompetent!):
The new @mention interface doesn’t appear to take users’ karma into account when deciding which users to surface. This has the effect of showing me a bunch of users with 0 karma, none of whom are the user I’m trying to tag.[1] (I think the old interface showed higher-karma users higher up?)
More importantly, I’m still shown the wrong users even when I type in the full username of the person I’m trying to tag—in this case, Jason. [Edit: I’ve tried @ing some other users, now, and I’ve found that most of the time there isn’t this problem. It looks like the problem occurs for users with a single word username that’s a common(-ish) name, e.g., Jason, geoffrey, Joseph.] And there doesn’t appear to be a way to ‘scroll down’ to find the right user [when there is this problem],[2] which means that I’m unable to tag them.
(Sorry that this is a pretty critical comment. I appreciate the work you do :) )
Pressing my keyboard’s down arrow lets me ‘move down’ the list that’s shown in the interface, but it loops back to the top after the tenth option—user ‘JAB’, in the example above—rather than letting me go ‘further down’ to find the right user.
