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.

Hi @billytheked sorry if I'm reaching you out just now, I'm trying to fully reproduce the bug you showed and I have a couple of questions:

  • Is this PWA?
    • if so, what browser did you use to install the PWA?
  • What is your Android device and version?

nvm reproduced, it happens when you write a letter and press backspace at the same time if near another word.

Seems like this happens only on AnysoftKeyboard, can't reproduce it on AOSP

Found the issue on AnysoftKeyboard's github repo: https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/issues/4426

It seems like it's a bug that doesn't pertain to our editor, but we'll still try to find a workaround.

Great so at this point maybe I can just switch keyboards.

Good to know!

If it makes things better (or worse), that keyboard got vibecoded recently and also suffered from racist translation injections

any kind of injection, whether racist or not, should not be tolerated. and the dev just removed the injected files to 'fix' the problem

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 :(
