What's the most common error in using computer interfaces?
The most common computer interface error that I make is clicking on the wrong "x" and unintentionally closing a window. I blame this on the fact that window managers use the same style of decoration for all windows, so all the "x"'s look alike. Also, in Firefox, the icons along the top that indicate open web pages have a little "x" in them. It's easy to click on the "x" accidentally.
I don't use my cell phone as a computer. If I did, I'd probably have a long list of interface errors to report.
