posting a quote in mobile not working well

@Brigby

Not sure If you're the one to tag in this but if I try to quote a post and then write a reaction, it moves my cursor inside the quote box (after saving the first draft)  and i cant write anywhere but inside the quote box.   Is there a fix for this? Anyone else have it?

Thanks for the help

You have to write a reply outside the quote box asap.

Once you accidentally start to write inside the box, you can't get out again unless you already have text outside the box.

Yeah it is super annoying. You should also hit the return button on your keyboard a few times to make sure the text doesnt end up inside of the "<blockquote>" code.

I have abandoned many a replies specifically for that reason.

Just start off your reply by pressing enter/return once. As long as your words are being typed at least 2 lines down from the end of the quote, you usually don't get snapped back into the quote. You can delete the spare line after if you wish.

If you type immediately after the quote, then as you have experienced your words will get caught in the quote box for some silly reason.

Hi @andrewvanmarle
I've passed all of this information along to the web developers, and we'll see what we can do about fixing that issue. Thanks!
