pugachev Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Whenever I try to quote someone on the forum, it won't let me delete the quote from the message field. I have to submit the reply and then quickly delete the message. Even after closing the browser it stays saved. Occasionally, if I quote I'm not even able to add anything else to the message field. Very weird. Anyone else have this issue? Extremely annoying trying to post from my phone. Running theatest version of Android on Chrome with a Nexus 6P.

highvoltage Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 You can tap and hold on the quote in the post box. It will bring up an option to remove it from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugachev Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Works on my Nexus 5. Using cut takes it right off. My Nexus 6P appears to be treating the quote box like an image. I can edit the text, but if I long press above the text it asks Drag to move or Search Google or Copy this image. Guess some software issue on the device side not intereprting the code correctly. I guess I can stick to desktop mode for the time being. Just now, gunsguy said: ok try to press and hold top right of quote box then try cut. If you need I can a video of myself doing it in the am.

Do you get a blue highlight around the quote when you tap on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I have to long press top right where no text is on box to select cut and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugachev Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 2 minutes ago, highvoltage said: Strange. Do you get a blue highlight around the quote when you tap on it? Yep, I actually get two. One highlights just the text specifically. The other highlights the whole quote box. If I long press on just the text one, I can cut copy paste, but it only effects the text itself. Leaving the quote box remaining. Holding on the whole quote box treats it like an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 If you are selecting it like this on the screen video then I can't say what it's doing unless your using another app for copy and paste function? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yeah, it's the outer one (whole box) you want to be able to select... as GG says, tapping "cut" usually works, otherwise hitting backspace works just fine on my iPhone (using latest Chrome for iOS). I have an android device I can test with, but it sounds like you've been able to do that already. We tried installing a mod for a "cancel reply" button (next to submit reply) a while ago as another way to fix this - but ended up getting rid of it as it wasn't working properly. Hopefully the mod gets updated soon and we can try it out again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugachev Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yeah, comparing to my Nexus 5. Holding on the outerbox gives me the Cut Copy Paste which works fine. On my 6P it causes my on screen keyboard to pop-up instead. It actually worked once just now, bit can't seem to replicate it. I'll play around with it and see if it's just wanting to be picky.
