Now I can't use the cursor keys anymore to scroll, they will move the timeline in the background. The j/k keyboard shortcuts are broken as well, only the Space key scrolls the replies.

I thought Twitter would have resources for some testers.

Some of the bugs and quirks I've noticed on Twitter in the last 3 months are unbelievable to me. I wouldn't even accept them from a startup, let alone a mature public company with huge revs.

Simple example: @jack often tweets out links to periscope broadcasts. Till a couple of days ago, most of the time I clicked on a link it would say "broadcast not found." Today, he tweeted out a bunch of periscope links and when I clicked on them I saw the mobile version of Twitter (I was on a Desktop PC using Chrome), and the periscope links led to static pages containing a single screenshot from the periscope with no way of viewing the actual periscope.
