Text editor behaviour

[DCBassman]

Over the last few days, there's been some odd goings-on while trying to write posts.
Using enter or backspace removes the keyboard from the screen, needing a tap on the text space to bring it back. No updates to device, S7 Edge, anything changed on forum software?

I haven't had that, but I think that some fonts may have changed? Everything looks a bit different to me, as if Shaun has been 'tweaking' things again...

Not noticing anything visually different here, on any device...

That's in the Chrome browser on my laptop. I don't think that I have changed any settings on that recently.

It's a subtle difference, but I do spend a lot of time on here so even subtle changes become noticeable.

I'll add that on the big desktop box, running Brave Browser, all is entirely normal. Seems limited to Androids...
Edit: fine on a Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet running Chrome on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat.

[Switches to phone...] Oh, yes - my old HTC One M8 is doing that too (Chrome on Android Marshmallow)!

I'll add that there seems to be a recent problem posting on my Android phone. There is a significant lag in typing and problems using the "return" button.
Not a complaint - an observation

Just noticed this same thing. Galaxy Note 8, Chrome. Very annoying

Xperia XA2 on Android. Yep, some strange goings-on yesterday. The emoji line became almost full screen and wouldn't go away, plus lag when tapping any keys.
All seems good in the hood now.

Same problem as the OP reports on my Android tablet.

I have same issue on another forum recently, weird. S7 Edge too, must be a chrome thing, when hitting carriadge return

Nothing to worry about, just Google having a closer look at what you are doing to make sure you're legal and safe. Part of the friendly service.

Nothing has changed this end to the best of our knowledge.

Sorry that doesn't fix the problem but we'll flag it for Shaun to take a look at.

Thanks.

I have the same issue.

Hit carriage return and the keyboard disappears. I then have to click on the text box to make it reappear. I've made no deliberate changes.

Using a Motorola G6 Play on Chrome. I've tested it with DuckDuckGo and get the same issue.
