Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

adapted from my original post on discord

I'm using the pwa on android via chrome but the same behavior appears via mobile website on Firefox

steps to reproduce:

  1. use pwa or actual via mobile browser. have a category you want to rename
  2. tap the category to open its menu. backspace the entire name
  3. either a) switch apps, or b) press enter to confirm the blank name
  4. the touch target to rename the category is thereby gone or very small

current workaround is to just use the desktop app or website to rename a blank category
