Android bug

When I try to make a post on my phone the text will stretch down over the submit button preventing me from actually posting it.

Maybe I should mention that it didn't do this until just before I got this error

which was before y'all updated the forums. That error prevented me from accessing anything. Maybe it is the remnants of that bug?

The "pour over" thing happens to me a lot when I'm surfing the forums on my phone as well.

I usually fix it by hitting the "preview" button.

I think there are some plans to get the forums working better on cell phones eventually.

I was able to reproduce the issue.

The textarea object name "message" contains

Code: Select all

onselect= "storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onfocus="initInsertions();"
responsible for allowing mouse event resizing of the textview object. If removed, it should remain normal overflow properties of most input features found throughout the style (subject input, etc).

I get the issue too. I've fixed it by closing the keyboard and rotating the screen. Happens mostly in PMs for me.

I'm aware of the issue. I'll first update the forums to the latest version, then will work on a mobile-friendly variant. I can't make estimates on timing though. Sorry about that.
