Mmm, I like the new rich editor, but I'm not sure I like the rich copy & paste

i've had issues with the editor on mobile.
I read early on that there were some known bugs while using android keyboards.

Eg:

@sox any ideas?

This happens on the stock android keyboard as well as while using Anysoft.

We did make some updates to the editor recently and might've regressed the Android fixes.

iirc this has been an issue since the wysiwyg editor was implemented

I created a github issue: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/2913

These kinds of autocomplete bugs tend to occur on faster android phones. We probably just need to prevent autocomplete in more circumstances than we already have.

Editor fights with Android keyboards all the time, it's mainly about phrase composition so stuff like autocorrect, autocomplete and whole-word deletion. I'm pretty sure this is a deletion bug.

Some keyboards like to delete via composition (word by word) and some other keyboards like to delete normally (character by character), some other keyboards, instead, like to do both. Our Editor is capable of picking just one method by suppressing the other in a given time window, but if the deletion event extends over the suppression time window the bug can appear.

I'm sorry for the late reply, I couldn't get online yesterday :(

try shift + ctrl + v to paste (plan text only)
