Editing comments doesn't work correctly (lemmy.world)

11 comments fedilink hide all child comments

When I attempt to edit a comment that I already submitted, especially if I'm trying to backspace text, I put the text cursor at the desired part of my comment but if I backspace more than once (i.e. holding the backspace button), the cursor jumps to the very end and starts deleting the end of the comment.

Interestingly this very same glitch would happen to me on the reddit app when I used to use reddit.

Does anyone else get this on Voyager? Is it a known bug?

Edit: I suppose it would be helpful to add, I'm on Android.

I'm running into this too. It happens when adding text to an existing comment, not just deleting, and only when editing multiple characters at once (swipe typing or holding backspace). It doesn't seem to happen when pressing a single button at a time.

The bug only happens once and seems to trigger the first time the number of lines changes and Voyager has to rewrap the input text, but it's not consistent (I've edited this comment about a dozen times now without it happening). And it never happens on a fresh comment, only when I go back and edit one later.

Running on Android with the HeliBoard keyboard.
