Big paragraphs appearing when I try to reply to threads

I'm using the browser on a Samsung phone and getting a weird thing - if it happens here I'll leave it so you can see what I mean! Big spaces are appearing at the bottom of posts, like when a cat stands on the enter key. And paragraphs are jumping apart

by themselves and the cursor skips around.

It's not happening on any other sites so definitely not my phone - just had to abandon a post entirely as it was "skipping" so much it became completely unresponsive!

This happening here too. Also on a Samsung
! ND things randomly going bold and all ovr hte place!

Here's an attempt on chrome.

That seems to be working. But laggy and slow.

However will have to do for the moment.

isittheholidaysyet · 31/01/2023 19:01

I am also having this problem and have virtually given up. Samsung a13 phone. Not sure of the other details.

Also bothepost anymore. And that should say not botheringring to

I give up see the above attempt at a sentence.

Mynewhome · 29/01/2023 14:25

This is getting silly now it's literally impossible to post

VenusStarr · 24/01/2023 13:26

Getting worse for me too. No better on chrome either.

AnorLondo · 24/01/2023 12:52

It's seems to be getting worse for me. I can write a post fine until I make a new paragraph, then all hell breaks loose on my screen.

BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn · 23/01/2023 13:22

Worse?!? Wow - that must be bad.

Crunchymum · 23/01/2023 12:41

Have you tried using Chrome instead of the inbuilt Samsung browser?

It's even worse for me on Chrome (if it is possible to be worse!)

TheSproutOfWrath · 22/01/2023 21:13

Me too. Frustrating. Samsung phone but not Samsung browser.

Fed up of not being able to join in threads as its

bloody upside-down

007DoubleOSeven · 22/01/2023 15:22

Sorry that was meant to read: 19.0.6.3

007DoubleOSeven · 22/01/2023 15:22

Am using Samsung Internet 19.06.03 too and happening unbearably!

Merlott · 22/01/2023 00:44

I had this too, samsung browser. When the new site launched.

But it's been fixed for past couple of weeks.

Samsung internet version 19.0.6.3

BamBamBilla · 22/01/2023 00:38

I had this too.
Android 13
Samsung galaxy S10 lite
Brave browser

Chevyimpala67 · 22/01/2023 00:35

Yep happening to me too

007DoubleOSeven · 22/01/2023 00:17

Agreed @Mynewhome

I have to write posts in notes and copy and paste to mn, and even then mn manages to screw up what I've written. Getting really p*ssed off tbh

Mynewhome · 21/01/2023 23:45

007DoubleOSeven · 21/01/2023 10:56

Are mn really investigating this bug? I'm not convinced. I'd expect replies from tech.

Nothing seems to have been done. It's like no one is bothered

MaureenSowerbuttsCardi · 21/01/2023 18:25

I'd switch browsers but I used a throwaway email to register and I have no idea what it is. Hope there's a fix soon.

BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn · 21/01/2023 10:00

It's a rubbish browser (no forward button, no clipboard), so I only use it for MN, but it does get around the glitch.

Notsuchacleverclogs · 21/01/2023 09:41

Placemarking as I'm on the cusp of giving up MN for a while because of this issue. It makes replying to any threads impossible. Im on Samsung S21 FE.

Parmavi0lets · 21/01/2023 09:38

This is still a real problem and very frustrating. You get a few seconds to type about 1 paragraph before it all starts jumping around and inserting big spaces.

DeltaAlphaDelta79 · 19/01/2023 10:52

Just noticed this and I have been having this issue for a while as well. Didn't bother to say anything as I assumed it was my phone. Samsung on internet browser. Cleared cache/cookies etc. Still happening.

Crunchymum · 19/01/2023 10:49

Any update on this as it was flagged two months ago now?

The website is hideous and and virtually unusable for me on Samsung..

toffeecrisps · 15/01/2023 19:37

It seems to be a bit inconsistent with me. Sometimes it's fine, others I have to give up and use a different device instead.

Positivelypatient · 15/01/2023 08:44

Happening to me too, I've given up commenting on threads as each time i try to it jumps about and gives me big paragraphs and a huge space at the bottom

I'm on a samsung s21.
