Description

The text editor (the one used for comments and issues/PRs) is pretty much unusable on mobile. See the videos below:

It is especially bad when using the autocompletion for words:

I suspect this is due to some gitea made csutomizations of the text editor, maybe the file upload.
I will try to verify this with all plugins disabled.

Also, that button at the end of the header is your best friend. It reverts it to a normal textarea. 🙏

@6543 I even have it installed, but I'm a lazy person and links open right away in my browser from my mail app 😀

@jolheiser I actually found that a few minutes after I opened this issue, more or less by accident. I guess I'm stuck with that for now it kind of is only a workaround

I reproduced the issue on a variety of browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera) based on Chrome86/87 on Android 11, Oneplus 8T on codeberg.org: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues?labels=338

Haven't found a browser that works with the editor.

Have you made any progress on fixing it? Issues are often the first point of contact with hosted Git services - so to not repel new potential users you may want to prioritise fixing this soon - maybe even disabling WYSIWYG on mobile by default until fixed.

I think these boxes should be radios not checkboxes, the fact that they are checkboxes makes the issue overview show "1/3 completed" when this is absolutely not what the boxes represent. This could be due to the checkboxes being part of a template.
