When deleting a filter (click on the "x" of the filter box), first the filter box disappears then after a while the page refreshes.

Depending on the time for the refresh, users feel they can continue to do something on the page and get surprised by the refresh.

A better approach would be not to hide the filter box immediately, only with the refreshed page, so that they really feel that clicking the red box triggered the refresh ...

Of course an AJAX approach for updating the list template would be a smoother experience ... :D

maybe an addition to the "advanced template pack" ...

That is TB markup for alert box and close button. And alert disappear is handled by bootstrap. I cannot do much about that.

But I do agree that this is confusing behaviour.

A poor man's non-programmers (probably not possible) suggestion:

  1. Delete a filter

  2. Filter box disappears and article.has-context is set to display:none with css

  3. Show loading.gif

  4. When page refreshes, article.has-context is to display:block and loading.gif is hidden

Voila :D
