To Fix Posting PITA Firefox mobile

[Scouse]

Posting longer posts than fit into the text box on Firefox - focus keeps getting moved from the text you're typing to the top of the text box.

Worse is if someone else has posted because it periodically jumps to that notice rather than letting you ignore it.

Was difficult typing the long post about the Lords prepping GM-food laws in the UK in our latest dangerous race to the bottom.

Was also difficult to paste a link - had to save, then edit, then select text and tried to insert the url but the insert box kept disappearing.

(It just scrolled up higher in the text as I typed that).

In the end, I did it in chrome, but I dislike that browser. Not least because of lack of adblock plus.

(Just hit the "post thread" button and rather than posting the thread it scrolled to the top of this post...)

I am collating all the issues for when the style author is available to have a look at them.

Btw, I use FF with uBlock Origin and uMatrix....

I'll keep an eye and check it's not all just fat fingered me

Does that mean we will be getting shorter posts from you

Posting on the laptop (FF, Adblock Plus) - working fine and dandy thanks @Deebs.

Mobile? Not so much - now I've got a proper keyboard I'll type a better description.

Long posts - it's definitely switching focus higher up the screen - which means I can type a few words then have to manually scroll back down as it keeps pushing focus back up.

Linking - if I click the link button, then try to paste a URL into the box that pops up, the pop-up box disappears - so I can't link

At the moment that makes posting on mobile a total ball ache as I try to link to as much stuff as possible if I'm trying to support an argument (or make a joke).

But yeah - understand you use FF and don't see it. Maybe a galaxy s10 thang?

Again, works in chrome, annoyingly

As I mentioned before as soon as the style author is back from baby duty I will engage with him. So keep the reports coming.

@Scouse was reading about the new 2.2 features coming along and I spotted the following message which could be what you are experiencing?



Off to do some more research....
