You are trying to click a link in a comment but the comment keep collapsing, also, pressing for a second should select the comment text to copy or other actions instead of hiding the upvotes section.
Thank you.
I don’t think the feature should be removed. Perhaps it can be reworked or improved for selecting text, but I personally appreciate the click to collapse. Very convenient to skip forward to the next item.
I also like collapsing comments, but I don’t like that clicking almost anywhere on the comment it collapsed it. Sometimes even trying to upvote a comment it keep collapsing it.
And if you click on collapsed comment it sometimes takes you to commenter’s profile instead of expanding the comment.
A button with +/- symbols would be nice.
The problem isn’t comments collapsing. it’s links being too hard to click
Right? What is even the point of the hiding upvotes option? I can understand holding to show upvotes if you have them hidden by default, but why would anyone ever want to hide upvotes on an individual basis? It’s a wasted gesture.
This is my fault, I did that. The honest answer: it was really easy to implement and now the app does by default what I prefer, I hide the comment action bar of course. In the future I want to add options to control gestures on comments, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
In Boost I found it nice to hold to collapse, that way it wouldn’t erroneously do it if you just mis-tapped something. Copying text could be done through a separate menu.
Ditto, Boost collapsed on touch and I didn’t have trouble opening links
