What happened?

Mobile amount entry on split transaction components has a pre filled text of "0.00". Typing here used to enter digits to left of wherever we had placed the cursor, and move the decimal point around accordingly. Thus we had the 0.00 as a template but could fill it in progressively. That was odd but worked fine!

Now it just appends to the pre filled 0.00 text and lets us add extra decimal points and so forth - which is basically useless, need to clear the default text before entering the real amount.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Use mobile, enter transaction, add/edit splits.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Pikapods

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Operating System

Mobile Device

I can not replicate this on edge, any ideas how I can make it happen?

Intriguing, I'm on 26.2 - as is demo.actualbudget.org where this does NOT seem to happen

I see this on my db in both Chrome and the Chrome based PWA, but not on demo 🧐 I'll try to narrow it down.

I've nuked all data on Chrome and re-logged-in via the PWA and it still occurs on both. What else can I try out? Mystified how it can behave differently on two versions! But I'd love to figure it out 😹

Same for me. Update to 26.2.1 didn't fix it.

I'm also seeing this, though I am still on 26.2.0.
Android + chrome if that helps

Seems to happen elsewhere too, e.g. Schedule amount:
