comment How best to handle a popup gaining focus in the middle of the user typing?
I would say the OS should take care of that, and the standard settings on Ubuntu are not strict enough for my liking, when I start Firefox and then start working in a terminal, the focus will be stolen by Firefox when it has finished loading.

@JohnGB That might make things clearer, you would know were your characters will appear. If you look at how Apple used to solve is in Carbon: developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/Carbon/… (page 34) here they use a double cursor when you are on a space between the ltr and rtl text and when you type ltr characters, you will append it to the ltr part when you type rtl characters you will append it to the rtl part.

@JohnGB With a block cursor and you have ab[c]CBA and you press d you would get abd[c]CBA. The character gets inserted on the place the block cursor is standing. So you would still have the problem that it is ambiguous where the character is inserted.

comment “This is Old” state icon
When you ask about an icon your question is off-topic as stated in the faq. If you remove the references to the icon the question is a good fit.

comment How can I tell stories in my UX portfolio?
Your question: How can I tell stories in my UX portfolio? Could be a good question for this site when you try to elaborate which things you have already tried. When you just want feedback on your site you can visit User Experience Chat. Site reviews are off topic here.

comment For a streaming music service, should clicking play on an album, add to the start or end of queue? Or play immediately?
@KoenLageveen Is that true? When I've carefully constructed a play-list and accidentally click play, how will I get my play-list back? Undo?

comment Should I provide the option to change the language in an app?
Do you mean: should I provide the option to change the language in an app? And not listen to the language of the OS.

I assume @Anthony means: should I provide the option to change the language in an app? And not listen to the language of the OS.

comment Why can't I set a real output volume on radios and TVs?
I've seen a TV-programme about this, in Holland the actual volume is not higher than regular programming but the sound is manipulated in commercials so it sounds as loud as possible. There are rules in place to define the maximum volume.

comment What control to use to select multiple months?
@Alex the current design lets the user first select a year and then select the months within the year. But I might need to reconsider that in light of the answers.

comment Do iOS / WP users recognize the Android share icon?
I must say I didn't recognise the right Android share icon, but that is the old one from when you press the 'menu' button. The left share button is from the contextual action bar in the new Android guidelines e.g. in the Play store app.
