**My App/Pages Support link:** [Glide](https://go.glideapps.com/support/bdca9d4c-3553-46a6-8d16-2e81cc1d9ca5)

**Describe the bug:** When editing, the browser window reloads **at untimely moments**. It can be very annoying when writing a custom script, for example … Are you aware of this behaviour ?

**Expected Behaviour:**  
The window should never reload !

**How to replicate:**  
Just staying a while on the glide data editor, maybe with custom scripts ? A lot of data ?

**Demonstration:**  
_You can create one using [https://www.loom.com/](https://www.loom.com/)_

@blairrorani Is this still happening? You can prevent this by doing ⌘⇧R (hard refresh). But it would be good to know how often you’re seeing it and if it’s still happening.

What browser are you using?

@JackVaughan I have this issue CONSTANTLY even as recent as today. In the past week my team and I have noticed the Glide builder page reload roughly 5-6 per hour. We use Chrome

I’ve passed this on Travis and the team is working on it.

for now, have you tried the hard refresh I mentioned above (⌘⇧R)

@JackVaughan yep I have. I’ve also tried multiple computers and different Wi-Fi’s. It’s been happening for quite some time.

My builder is also giving this issue. I am also using Chrome.  
It’s happening quite frequently at about 8-10 minute intervals…

The frequent refreshes started about 30 minutes ago (1100a PST) and, as @Jonathon_Kohn pointed out, every 10 minutes - on the dot - 1112, 1122 and 1132 so far. I have a stopwatch open on my desktop to keep track, gonna see if I can catch it in a Loom…

It is definitely chrome related. And it will happen for a day or two and then be fine for a few days. Something is triggering it. I have also recently had another intermittent issue with chrome not allowing me to click on a download link until I update my version of chrome. I don’t know if they are related but I am suspicious. I’ve disabled all plug-ins to eliminate that as a cause.

Also - I work on a macbook air if that helps.

I just updated my browser (Chrome) because it was out of date… hopefully that helps. It’s frustrating being IN BETWEEN saves when it refreshes 😡
