Vertical sliding speed of the Task / Notes box

mcauser says:
Some of my lists have 30+ tasks.
When scrolling from the bottom of the page to the top and vice versa, i have to wait for the pretty slide effect of the Task / Notes box before i can edit items.

It would be nice if it could move up and down a little faster. Has anyone else noticed it going slow?

Yes, I've noticed that it moves *extremely* slow.

I'm using Firefox 1.5.

I find that on a small screen resolution (my laptop, its old and can only do 800x600) that the sliding menu doesn't fit in the browser window (Firefox with tabs and bookmarks toolbar) and when I want to click the save button for notes I can't reach it. When I scroll to click it, the box moves down out of reach again.

So I guess what I'm asking is can you also offer the chance to make it not slide. Thanks.

Alice, thanks for the report. Is there any chance that you'd be able to send us a screenshot of what's happening to [old address removed]? This would help us to see why it's not fitting -- I don't seem to have the problem when trying 800 x 600 on my laptop here. Thanks!

Emily, I have the same problem, and it's so severe, that after a year of using RTM, I'm exploring more use-able options to switch to for tasks management. For me, I use 800x600 often, with quite large font, due to bad eyesight. Just try creating a list of at least 10 tasks, zoom your browser's text up to something pretty big (try with Chrome, as the new Firefox 3 doesn't do text zoom anymore without an add-on). Now click one of the tasks near the middle or lower down, and go 'chase' that details/notes box! Now try to add a note and after typing it try to catch that 'save' button! Hard work, lots of coordination required, and typing in a TINY little notes box over int he corner of the screen is bad for your neck if you do it regularly - I do, as I put details into those notes as I think about new aspects of my tasks during the day's work.
I'd be happy to give screenshots if you can't replicate this. Suggestion: create css for an optional 'accessible' version of the RTM interface, perhaps with the details/notes box fixed at the bottom in a frame of its own spanning the whole screen?

I've now developed a stylesheet for Stylish, which is a Fiefox Extension. With the code below used for your RTM site in Stylish in Firefox, you can now use RTM with extreme font sizes and small screens with minimal problems:
