RE: Unpacking in Cattery
I watched Charm have the problem. I pointed out to her that the official position is all such occurrences are "user error." While she could not guarantee she clicked the correct box, she was pretty adamant she had. But, since she was not 100% sure it was not her error, we let it drop.

I know where, in the code, the error must be occurring. But, until Rocky's post I had no idea WHY it was occurring.

The observation about incomplete loading seems a likely culprit for the triggering event.

If so, it's not the size of the list but the speed at which the page FULLY loads (n.b.: not "starts to appear" .. not "appears on the screen" .. I mean FULLY as in all scripts, style sheets, and images, complete downloading and are processed by your web browser). On my Firefox, that means the cursor stops spinning and the messages ("Waiting .." "Transferring .." ... stuff like that) stop appearing on the bottom of my screen. Different versions or different browsers will have different hints.

Rocky's solution of waiting a good long time before clicking is good. Of course, it's not the best since it's easy to forget to wait; but it should work.

KC: Disable the new buttons for unpack, rename, menagerie boxes until [ document.readyState == "complete" ] should solve this.
