BigQuery Views cannot be edited, only deleted and re-saved - google-bigquery

This is more of a bug report than a question, but Stack Overflow is the official support channel for BigQuery so I'm not sure where else to post this.
Right now if I have a view in BigQuery, when I try to edit it by clicking on "Details", editing the SQL, then clicking "Save View", I get the "View Saved" popup, but when I query the view again nothing has actually changed. The only way to change the view is to delete it and save a new one with the same name, which is pretty annoying every time I want to edit a view. This seems like a bug. Is it already known? Is there a timeline for it to be fixed? Is there somewhere else I should be reporting this? Thanks.

This is a UI-specific bug that we began pushing earlier in the week. The issue was exactly as your described: updating an existing view would report success, but not actually change the SQL query. We pushed a fix to production yesterday and the issue should now be resolved. You will need to refresh your BigQuery UI to pick up the new version and again be able to update views as expected.
Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for any inconvenience! Just FYI, another channel for bug reports (which Stack Overflow sometimes isn't a huge fan of) is our external issue tracker.

Bigquery how to change the workplace style or GUI

Seems BigQuery has released the new interface, not really like it.
Does anyone know how to change back to the typical style?
Thank you so much
More prefer to change back to below
At the moment, you can by clicking disabling editor tabs > Opt out without feedback. This will switch you back to the old UI.
Note: This feature will be permanently remove after this month. I suggest you to open an issue tracker feature request and provide feedback about the new ui and its differences with the old UI.

How do I permanently dismiss the ..."Powered by Data Catalogue" pop-up in BQ

Recently (last month or two) I've been noticing a popup that keeps showing up when I open BigQuery. It says:
Try search and autocomplete powered by Data Catalogue
When I hit "Dismiss" on this pop-up it goes away for a while but as soon as I come back to the BQ query editor it just comes back again. It's infuriating!
Does anyone know how to get rid of this advertising permanently without enabling it?
The issue has been reported on issuetracker platform, which says that:
The Prompt will not be visible by default once BigQuery UI's 'V2 Beta'
version is launched in November.
I will recommend you to subscribing the issue by starring it. When you star an issue, you receive email notifications about any upcoming chnages. Additionally, keep track of the latest BigQuery releases here.

Word cannot undo this action. Do you want to continue?

I have a document into which I copy all kinds of VBA code regarding questions asked on this site and write code in preparation for answers. This document was created on my PC (with Word 2010). It has no event procedure that runs on the Save event, but at some point a few weeks back it started to ask me the above question before every save, including automatic saves. The document is based on the Normal template which has no code in it. I don't know which code may have caused this to start, nor which code to even suspect. Other documents open in the same instance of Word save normally. It's only this one document that is affected.
The document also contains a lot of special items, like content controls, fields, ActiveX controls, EndNotes, tables and comments. I suspect the comments to be related to this problem in some way.
I know that I could probably stop the alerts by disabling alerts but that isn't what I want. I want Word to display all the normal alerts. It's just this abnormal one which I would like to switch off. Any ideas how to do that? Or what caused Word to issue that alert in the first place?
In these situations I make several backups of the document and then start looking for something that is broken. So using a new backup each time, I systematically delete portions of the document to see if the unwanted / unexpected behavior disappears. For example I first try to isolate the issue to the top of bottom 1/2 of the document. If I can establish that the issue is related to the bottom half then I delete half of the bottom half of the document and so on... it can take a while but it has been an effective method of finding issues for me.
That said, I tried this on a document recently and just ended up going round in circles. I thought I had narrowed the issue down to a single corrupt image, but that turned out to be NOT the case.
I've also found that there are some things that I can do with VBA that Word simply can NOT undo... I'm only aware of a few things (which I'd have to look up in my notes) but I'm sure there's a whole list of things.
A possible workaround might be to clear the undo history for this specific document prior to saving, I imagine that will suppress the message and save you from losing the standard notifications. Hope it helps :)
Good luck!

Form designer only shows the form in vb.net

I was working at the forms designer and yesterday the designer literally only showed the form. Tried copying the .designer.vb to another new form and the same thing happened. Also when built it just shows what the designer shows. Compare the two versions:
(Had to use pastebin as the code is too long for a post, and it rejects my post if more than two links are used.)
Current code: pastebin.com/SsgR7YWD
Current form view:
Previous code: pastebin.com/bXCL3jhH
Previous screenshot:
Why it is not showing the controls? I know it is a long piece of designer code but I can't find where the error comes from.
I've just run your code through this site that compares to blocks of text and shows the differences - there's a lot - you might want to do the same and have a look at the differences. It may be easier to delete the form and start again to be honest. Having said that, you might be able to spot what went wrong
You should just delete the form and start again. A few tips to having a better UI ---
Use layout grids for the button-checkboxes and let the buttons occupy the whole horizontal space.
And remember to backup your code often so that things like this won't happen again - use something like GitHub and commit your files whenever your day is finished.
Happy coding!

Keep getting incorrect captcha

This used to work, but at some point in the last year it stopped working and we just found out today from a customer. It keeps on saying that you failed even if you type it right.
Also, if you press the voice button, it says a different number/word than the number/word it's displaying.
Here is a live link.
Figured it out. For anyone else that has this problem the solution was...
The page had multiple tables. In an update, the end of the form got outside of the main table, breaking the captcha. Once the was moved back inside the proper it worked again!
