It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Open first topic here on GOG and I must say it was unnecessary annoying. Every time I switched to another window to check something in game or online, title and message got erased! Why ??? Had to remember to copy message every time I needed to change window and then paste it back.
Awful!

Is it really so bad to post on the forums from {within} Galaxy?

No comment, with reservations.

This is odd, at least I didn't notice this behaviour (just tried it in General, switching topics and moving to the library and back kept the open comments contents, switching to other windows didn't change anything, either). In fact, between my multiple un- and reinstalls of various Galaxy versions one issue that was initially present went away for the better: originally I had to be on the thread the post was created from in order to successfully post it (visiting other pages in between was OK if I only returned to the originating thread before posting). Recently, Galaxy posts and loads the proper thread afterwards. It may have been fixed during the search fixup, but the OPs problem never occured for me (yet).

Edit: It only works fully when inside the forum, not fdrom the library. It posts, but doesn't close the window and doesn't move to the thread from outside the forum.

I understand the OP had some game running, which might have been the issue. For my setup, anyway, it seems like UE games still receive mouse movement, even if they're behind one or more windows and thus shouldn't receive them. Possibly the OPs game messes with the inputs in a way that triggered a reset in the post window, possibly the overlay (that I have yet to see, despite it being enabled in my settings)?

Might be some sort of protection against accidentally posting sensitive information in the wrong window.
Well, I used my firefox browser. I'll use Galaxy next time then.
Still a strange behaviour.
Thank you all.

Never experienced that. shrug

Sorry, I rather was confused; I thought you were trying to post from Galaxy. What you've described has never happened to me.

Something your web browser is doing. Nothing like that has ever happened to me (using a couple different browsers) and I don't ever browse using Galaxy.
