I have the same problem with mobile view. Testet in Firefox and Chrome on Android 8 / 9.

Not sure how many testimonials are necessary, but I can confirm the same issue on Chrome for Android. It seems like it is potentially an issue with the rich text editing function of the box, that automatically applies markdown syntax & formatting as you type (this would modify your cursor location and could mess with soft-keyboards' auto-complete/word substitution). If this is too big of an issue, even a simple textarea would resolve the issue in the short-term, since it isn't usable as-is.

Thanks!

Switching to desktop view (android10/11 + chrome) seems to work around the issue, but that's not ideal on tiny screens.

There's a workaround: Press the last icon on the toolbar the black 🗅 folded over note. That will switch off the editor.

This problem has now been known for at least 5mo - could you please switch off the editor by default on mobile browsers until this is fixed. It's provides a terrible first impression for anyone encountering Gitea on mobile for the first time. See #13132

@6543 try.gitea.com doesn't work for me, do I need to have some sort of permission or anything else to access it?

Yes, it works on mobile now - though autocorrect does not work on the body.

Body text is never automatically corrected by auto correct, in contrast to normal text fields. Presumably a remaining issue with EasyMDE on mobile.
