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!

It's still happening for me. Seemed slightly better on Xmas day (lower volume of traffic?) it's always the fecking Deliveroo advert at top of my screen when it's jumping and moving the cursor. Not sure if this info is relevant? I don't seem to get any other advert at present.

I also cannot tag other posters, have to scroll down for ages to find the 'post' button and have to try multiple times to add any screenshots.

Sorry couldn't bear the jumping about any more in that post

I just came here to have a moan about this - glad it's not just me!

Also getting paragraph jumps (like this one) - it inserts at least 2-3 extra lines between paragraphs and the cursor jumps - I'll be typing and suddenly find I'm typing in the middle of another word in the post.

Deleting also a nightmare - there's some sort of lag so it will keep deleting ages after I've stopped and I'll lose half of what I've painstakingly typed!

This was happening to me last week, it seemed to stop but now it's started again. Samsung Galaxy S20, Android 13, One UI 5.0, Ecosia browser 4.0.2.464. Took me four attempts to post this.

ChuggingtonMum · 21/12/2022 13:34

This is driving me crackers too, it started on Mon and comes and goes. Sort of pleased I am not the only one. Am using Chrome as a quick fix for now (although chrome crashes a lot on my phone which is why i generally use the Samsung browser).

Samsung A22, v13,Android browser is 19.0.3.12.

Thanks for your persistence.

No good news just yet, we're afraid. But a couple of suggestions for 'in the meantime'.

  1. If you've not yet tried using different browsers, that might be worth a go. It's looking like this is mostly (but not exclusively) happening on Samsung browsers so trying Chrome or Safari etc <might> make a difference.
  2. If you're not using the app, it's worth trying that rather than the mobile site or desktop site.

We'll update as soon as there's any more news.

EddieVeddersfoxymop · 21/12/2022 06:31

Happening here too. Galaxy s21, android 13, Samsung browser. Very annoying.

Blister · 21/12/2022 05:51

I got some silly reply about resetting cookies after making a video of the problem which I couldn't send over because it was too big. Problem still happens. The debug process needs help...

HebeMumsnet · 19/12/2022 11:24

Thanks for your patience with this, everyone. We're still looking into it. In the meantime, if anyone arriving here with the same problem could let us know what device and browser (as well as which version) you're using. If you're able to get a video of what's happening, too, that would also be really helpful.

We'll be back with an update as soon as there's any more news.

itsthefinalcountdown1 · 19/12/2022 06:35

I can see someone reported this weeks ago, but the problem only started for me this weekend. Bloody annoying :(

VenusStarr · 17/12/2022 10:15

It's still awful for me. Although, ironically, doesn't happen when I post on this thread. But on others it's terrible

Crunchymum · 17/12/2022 08:52

Any updates? The website is unusable for me as it is.

motleymop · 16/12/2022 14:27

It's still happening to me too. It's been going on for weeks.

Crunchymum · 16/12/2022 10:47

I started a new thread as I didn't see this. I have a a Samsung. Have been having these issues for a few days now. Same in Chrome or Samsung Browser.

I did do an update recently for my phone. It wasn't happening before that.

I just had to report my own post due to the pure size of the space it put between paragraphs somewhere between me finishing writing it and scrolling down to press "post" 😅

VenusStarr · 09/12/2022 16:56

I'm using chrome now and still having issues. Can't easily tag people, cursor jumping round and massive gaps still.

JoMumsnet · 09/12/2022 11:03

Oh that's a pain. Thanks for checking, @rubydoobydoo - we'll see if there's anything else we can suggest.

ImTiredOfOfOf · 09/12/2022 11:03

Mine is the same re paragraphs, cursor jumping and page jumping around, but I also have the emojis back. But it's a faff to scroll to them with the jumping page.

Let me have a go and see - it always starts off OK before the bottom of the text box starts expanding!

No still the same 😥

@BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn - thanks for testing things out. We're glad you've got your emojis back at least, but we're sorry that the paragraph problem still exists on the Samsung browser.

@rubydoobydoo - are things still the same for you, too?

BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn · 09/12/2022 10:03

There was a Samsung update today, so this is a test post to ese whether it's fixed the problem.

What happens if I add a couple of paragraphs?

Or tag someone such as @rubydoobydoo ?

Still getting the para and cursor jumps - bit not quite as much as before. Looks as if the tag problem may be sorted. Can't link though.

But can use the emoticons menu.😎

Back to Chrome for me, then.

BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn · 05/12/2022 12:35

I've been using Chrome for several days (same phone) and it works fine.
