Bug report: when deleting items on web, alert dialog showed, 'Do not show this message again' checked, deletion confirmed, and next time I can't delete anything any more.

Lefty, are you using Firefox? We use the built-in confirm() function to show that confirmation box and Firefox is adding that checkbox to it. (I didn't realize Firefox did this, we are learning about this today.) If you restart the browser, then it should reset its internal timer and show the confirmation box again.

We are adding a todo to write our own confirmation box and not use the one built into the browser, so it won't get that checkbox added without our knowledge.

I'm sorry about this. Let me know if you are not using Firefox or if restarting the browser doesn't make the confirmation box come back.

Your own confirmation box works well. Thanks!

I was using Arc (Chromium). I will try to restart the browser tomorrow.
