Hello Upwork! I couldn't find where we could leave general feedback and I am sure there is a forum already discussing this, but I couldn't find it. Please, Upwork, fix the Submit a Proposal entry area for the freelancers. First of all, we could be typing and click or drag the cursor a little outside the pop-out screen and it takes us out of the Submit Proposal screen and back to the Job Details screen. This happens constantly when I highlight a section of my proposal to edit, copy, delete or move sentences around. I drag my mouse across to highlight and it goes a little too far and boom. I know we don't lose the data we previously filled, but it is so annoying. We DO lose data we filled in when this happens in the Decline/Refer Proposal screen. Why do we need to be taken to a screen like that? It should just be a fixed page. Why do they need to be pop-out screens? Please fix this if you can! 🙂 This just happened to me again and the sheer aggravation led me to do some research for leaving feedback.
Secondly, I really wish you would leave us much bigger text boxes where our proposals are written up. Why are they so small? I have a standard proposal that I use and I move paragraphs around and customize it to fit the project I am applying for. It is so difficult to highlight a paragraph to move it up because it jumps up so fast and highlights way too much--same going downward. I have to manually click the position on the scroll bar and sometimes it's still not enough, so I have to do half a paragraph at a time (doing all this highlighting also causes me to be kicked out of the proposal screen constantly, keep in mind). I don't understand why the text boxes have to be so small - The same goes for the boxes where we answer a client's questions. The text box here in this Discussion/Forum message is larger than what's in the proposal! HA! I wish the text boxes would be large enough to fill almost the whole page! Why not? 🙂
I love everyone at Upwork and I appreciate all you do! I just wanted to see if there is anything that can be done or if there are any suggestions to post this request somewhere else. If anyone needs to see an example of what I am talking about, I can send a quick video, if they are allowed.
