If I reply to a post which was itself a reply to a long post, then the entire post becomes even longer.

Now, a dot appears on the bottom RHS of the screen and you have to hit it to see the entire post. It's similar to the feature where you have to tap an embedded link inside a post to see images

Ok I see what you are talking about. Yup we’ve done a lot to shorten quotes. We display long quotes in an expandable box and also when composing messages we will auto shorten quotes. Let’s see what long term effect it has 😀

Positive, I'm sure

Please check the post above. It seems like the posts are getting cut off at a certain point/length and I can't reply.

Also, the screen doesn't scroll up so I'm typing blind - see image below

Sorry could you explain the first problem again? I’m not totally following for some reason.

As for the second problem, a few people have reported the same exact problem. For some reason I can’t reproduce it. Are you able to drag the text area at all?

The first problem:

It seems when i reply, the quoted portion is limited to a certain number of characters and if that limit has been reached, it cuts off the rest of the quoted message and doesn't let me type anything in reply

Does it happen every time?

Ok I’ve released a new version 5.2.27 to try to solve this issue, its a bit of a shot in the dark, but I believe I’ve made progress on this, if not possibly solved it. So any feedback would be helpful, letting me know if its still broken or fixed
Thanks!!

I've only got v26

I'll report back when 27 loads up 😊

The last one went out within a minute and this one is taking it’s sweet time. Lol. So unpredictable. I still think it should be coming in the next 30 mins

[MadBimmeRad]

There is a new issue with v26

When I reply to a post with multiple quotes, my reply becomes a part of the most recent reply in the chain

See this post, and the one above it for comparison

Yes true, .26 is a bad version, .27 should be the good one. I hope not to many people got .26 🙏

EDIT: ugh, .27 still hasn’t been approved. What bad luck, a whole bunch of .26 is going out there

[apptest]

I’m already on .28 now, google is just way behind today. In any event, look out for .28 now

It's still only showing v26

BTW, see how your message isn't appearing as quoted text; if that's what you have fixed in v28 - excellent

The main reason for 26-28 was to fix the bug where you can’t see what you are typing or scroll the editor area. I did a blind shot gun approach to try to fix that, so certainly please let me know if that ever happens to you again. Thanks 🤞

I did a couple of years on the M4CSL thread and things seem to have normalised

It did have to be tested longer term

I'll let you know if it happens again 🙂

[MadBimmeRad]

I think I know why it happens, and yes, it's still happening.

Sometimes, when I tap on the three dots on top RHS for drop down list (top of list it says edit this message etc), instead of normal font, the list font is red and double yellow underline

When this happens, the message doesn't scroll when typing

Ok so its only happening when you edit a post?
