While composing a tweet or reply, as of yesterday pressing backspace or delete, or either of those or ctrl+x with some text selected, has no visible effect. The text stays the same. The selection stays the same. The only way I can get rid of text is to select it then type something else to replace it. But, if I do anything after a failed delete then click post, then what ends up posted is an amalgamation of what I saw in the box when I clicked post, what I had previously tried to delete, what was before or after the cursor when I tried to delete, etc.

Anyone else?

PS: I am using Firefox on Linux.

I have my personal gmail account set up to check one of my google business accounts via pop3. I am seeing notification banners saying that feature is going away. Is there some new way to do this now?

I am interested in buying some rural non-residential real estate in Oregon which currently has 3 years of delinquent taxes. I don't think the owner intends to ever pay them, so the property will likely be foreclosed and probably auctioned... in another three years.

The property has negative value for most potential uses, and that value is decreasing as various condemned buildings decay further and will cost more to demolish safely. I expect the auction to bring far less than the outstanding property taxes.

Assuming I could secure the cooperation of the current owner, is there any way the foreclosure could be accelerated?

• The owner wins by getting rid of the headache and liabilities sooner.
• The county wins by not losing three more years of tax revenue.
• The county wins again by getting more at auction for a less-condemned property.
• The neighbors win by the property going unmaintained for less time and condemned buildings not further decaying.
• A buyer wins by getting the property sooner.

I can't think of why this outcome would be worse for anyone involved, but I also can't find any legal path toward making it happen.
