Issues with posting from phone - Quotes and images

WezV

This was just mentioned in another area of the forum.  It's been specifically happening to me for a month or two when posting from my android phone (Android 13 on a Samsung phone).  Everything works fine from my windows laptop

Images and Youtube links:
The same happens to me whether copying a link from an external site or uploading directly to the site.  I follow the usual process that has worked since day one.  The image will briefly appear in the text editor, then vanish.  Sometimes this is replaced by the letters OBJ in a small box where the image was.  

Quotes:
If I quote a post and start typing,  my response will end up embedded in the quote.  I think this seems to happen when the draft saving occurs.

Are these a known issue?  Any workarounds or do i just not bother trying it when on my phone?

@digitalscream. Any ideas?

Hmmm, I've genuinely no idea. I'm in the middle of some other platform changes, but I'll try to look at it when I get a minute. I don't have a Samsung, though, so I'm going to find it hard to reproduce (it works fine on my Pixel 6a).

I've not tried posting a link on my phone, but I also get the quoting issue, and it's not just specific to here.
If I try quoting on any forum using XenForo, every time I add a new character to a reply, it adds an extra line to the bottom of my reply.

@WezV what browser do you use?
I'm using Edge on a Samsung.

Let's see

That does seem to be working better.

OK, well...that does explain why I couldn't reproduce it

Just remembered about this thread. The issue appears to have fixed itself over the past couple weeks, so I'm assuming Samsung have fixed whatever they broke.
