Since joining I've received eight and two halves (!) copies of the pair of Participate Ability notifications. I don't see why I'm getting spammed? My first thought was that it's per-community, but...

The "Copy Link" button below a post usually opens a panel that is narrower than the post, but now it is the width of the window. Since it does not start at the very left of the window, this means i...
