When hiding the first and then the last story, this was the result: https://news.ycombinator.com/snip-story?onop=news&id=1207282... I guess that's not intended...
Was able to reproduce, but only hiding first then last - last then first doesn't break things. Was that intuition to test that? Hiding the first then the last story seems an awfully specific test.
Worked with Scott, can confirm he is both a great programmer, and great human being.

That would certainly increase the number of accidental votes.
As it stands, I have already accidentally clicked "ago" and gone to a comment permalink when I wanted to collapse a thread. Not much better.
If you collapse a comment in a thread it also collapses when viewing the comments page on a user's profile, and visually it is very hard to spot when collapsed on that page due to the styling.
For example, open the below link[0], collapse this comment, then refresh the link. The comment becomes quite hard to spot on that page. The red/orange star or vote button is also strangely missing while collapsed, which further makes it visually hard to distinguish.
The problem with the story-hide feature is that some days you may think something is not interesting from the title, but then an hour later there are 100 comments.
edit: A solution is not "well then don't use the hide feature" - Because this feature is site-wide, in some cases, that momentum would never occur.
I bet whoever has the top comment on this one is going to see their karma go up and down as everyone tests out the unvote and undown feature. :)
Tested upvote, worked. Tested undo upvote, worked. Tested downvote, worked. My testing is complete.

Thank you, these are all fantastic except #4.
