editing a post on a smartphone

The reply window snaps back to the top of a longer reply. Can't get the curser to go to a place further down, scroll and it just snaps back up to top of the pane again.

Blackberry Q10, this is a new problem since the forum was updated.

Don't use a phone, so no way I can replicate the problem, but there's a responsive version of Curve theme that's supposed to accommodate mobiles, will install it on test forum and see what it looks like.  Are you able to post short replies?

Just installed Responsive Curve mod, no way to test it.  Try a long reply, see if problem persists.

It is still battling with me.

Once the typing gets down to below the bottom of the reply window, and you try to take the cursor back, the window snaps back to the top, and you have to tap tap tap back down to where one wants to edit/correct.

Thank you for kicking this can. Quality posts require easy editing.

Happy coaching!

This seems to be specific to blackberry browser.  There was a resize function added to 2.0 post editor that wasn't in 1.1.x, and could be causing the glitch.  I'm finding out if it can be removed without causing other problems.  Bad thing is I've no way to check it.

Does your BB allow you to install and use a different browser? Maybe if you used the Chrome or Firefox browser for your phone instead of the BB browser the problem would not be there.

It worked before the update,and has worked all along on BNO, which keeps up with all the Simple Machine updates as they come out?
