  Nubs_Select talked about this.

It's a bug I see since the Refund page exists.

When you've input any amount in the "Refund amount Buyer will receive"
field, then using your mouse to scroll either up or down will increase or
decrease the value by increment of 1 (ex: 12.37 = 13.37, 14.37, etc)

Which can also lead to negative numbers.

But a few times I was to validate a refund which in the end was 1 or 3€ more
than what I typed because of this. Of course it's more difficult to notice
if you've a non trivial number like 12.37 which can become 13.37 without
you to notice.

In short, after clicking "Review refund" CAREFULLY double check the amount,
it may have changed since you typed it

Note it's the same in a Shop page, you may type 4, scoll down, and buy 2...

... But... When I tried to replicate this after Nubs mentioned it above, I
scrolled up, down, left, right, expanded, contracted... nothing changed.

Depends the position of your cursor, the rotation speed or start time, many things...

Here I can make it happen 100% of the times.

Confirmed to happen here on Firefox and Nubs on Opera IIRC - at least, didn't
try other browsers.

The behavior of the mouse scroll wheel updating the contents of a "number"
input field is the default behavior on most browsers. This can be disabled with
a small tidbit of JavaScript (you can disable events generated by the scroll
wheel with a "blur()" override).

For devs: please let me know if you need more specific info.

  The fix is to specify the "description" field.

{"quantity":4, "description":""}

Works fine and fixes it as far as I can tell.

I can't help but think someone at BL was a bit overzealous. With the merging
changes, the advice from BL was to put some text in the "description"
field to specify mold differences. Maybe this was construed as "now everything
needs a description", so the API was changed to now require a "description"
field...

  Admin Russell, you did not understand what BrickFreedom was posting.
The API that updates inventory by a quantity (+ or -), is intermittently breaking

This will break every piece of software that relies on updating Bricklink store

Same error, did you happen to have a sale on BO for those four items?

Yes.

Niek.

Is it causality your post was the one that made this beat the longest thread?

  Hello again everyone,

My initial post on this subject earlier this month has garnered almost 700 replies,
which is right about the level of the BrickArms threads a few years ago.

Yup - that thread stopped at 748 posts. Only 41 to go!

Correct. You can see the missing teeth on the large picture for [p=53029].
