Description

Gitea show how long reading a comment/issue takes. But the value that is shown changes inconsistently, and the same text can take two different times to read.

Reproduce with:

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

e

eeeeeeeeeeeee

enter the text above in a text field for an issue, or a comment on an issue. Time is 4:13.
remove the e in the middle. Time is 2:0 (should be shown as 02:00, though it's not the point of this issue)
write back the e at the same place. Time is 2:1, different from 4:13.

Screenshots

The three steps respectively:

@jolheiser commented on GitHub (Mar 25, 2020):

That isn't time to read. That's a line:column indicator.

Unfortunately it does seem to have some odd behavior, especially on mobile, but that would be an upstream issue.

Hopefully we come up with a good solution in #10729
