Hack results
Some time within the last 3 or 4 releases, the devs appear to have changed the hack results animation so that the gear from hacking a portal will not fly across your screen while there is an existing results box - instead, the animation starts when the box is dismissed.
This vastly increases the chance that when I get back from going down the road hacking every portal there will be a long queue of hack results to dismiss - and it's not just tap-tap-tap it's tap-wait-tap-wait-tap.
What do we think about this? Is it an improvement or is it just the latest in bone-headed misfeatures?

I thought the animation was based on where the portal was located? You can sometimes see the items come from the portal's center.
Yes they do come from the portal (if it's on screen) but I don't see how that's relevant to what I wrote, which is that the animation doesn't start at all until the previous static results box has been dismissed.
This is what I am talking about. Does it not bother anyone else? Having hacked a couple of dozen portals on a main road, I have to tap away a long queue of hack results. This wasn't the case until some time early this year.
Yeah, it bugs me too.
It's incredibly annoying to have them all queued and they just keep coming. Even if you go to another app or to your home screen, they start back up when you go back to ingress.
