I think the problem is wider. Keep doesn't load notes anymore (even with the webapp, also Oxide related?). Trying to modify an event on google calendar (try making an evebt repeat every year) makes Oxide to refresh 'the page'

I am not seeing issues with calendar or keep, but I can reliably observe the problem with g+. A simple UA override seems to do the trick.

i am testing silo 2366 and it does not fix the problem. i can also see that twitter is back to its old version

@taiebot65: thanks for testing! Indeed silo 2366 has an incomplete fix, I’m aware of it and will update it on Monday. Regarding twitter, I’m assuming you’re on the stable channel (i.e. OTA-14) ? I’m not seeing the issue on rc-proposed.
