Google! What the hell did you do

Google! What the hell did you do to Google Docs?

I use a Google Docs spreadsheet for the laughably simple job of tracking sales of DVDs. Rows of buyers, columns for the purchaser information, address, how paid, and boxes for the number of each title. The most complicated thing on this sheet is a sum for the quantity of each title and a sum of those.

But someone at Google has decided to add some "features" that are driving me NUTS! It is constantly automatically saving, and the focus cell is constantly moving. It probably makes sense to people who use spreadsheets, but in my case, I'll have entered data in a cell, then scroll to another place in the sheet to look for another name and the focus cell "helpfully" pops up without my having selected anything. And the content of the previously entered data has fucking vanished!

What the fuck is going on? Google, why did you do this?

I'd demand a refund.

THANK YOU.

For getting that tiresome, dickheaded response to every Google complaint out of the way in post #2, so the actual discussion can begin.

And for being so predictable. I find it comforting as I age.

Yeah! In this world you're only allowed to dislike something if you've paid for it.

Google services aren't free. You pay them with your personal information, which they sell out to advertisers.

I do what I want to do, or my name ain't Junkyard Willie.

Don't change these.
