Yea I've noticed that too, super annoying. Sometimes it worked for me though, so at the time I wasn't able to get a good idea of what the problem was.
We should try upgrading SimpleMDE (a layer on top of CodeMirror). It hasn't been updated for a while, but there is a fork at https://github.com/Inscryb/inscryb-markdown-editor We could also try updating just the CodeMirror part (that might require doing a simplemde build ourselves, I think I did that in the past). Looking at CodeMirror bug reports, I've found https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/issues/5245 which seems to describe the problem, and is still an open issue. So might be best to detect the browser somehow (that is always tricky) and do a plain textarea. It'd be unfortunate to lose the toolbar and syntax highlighting, but better than typing not working. --- ** [tickets:#8260] Codemirror on mobile devices doesn't work** **Status:** open **Milestone:** unreleased **Created:** Thu Nov 01, 2018 06:07 AM UTC by Ingo **Last Updated:** Thu Nov 01, 2018 06:07 AM UTC **Owner:** nobody I love to write documentation on my Smart phone on the run. Currently this is not possible with Codemirror, as it doesn't handle a mobile Keyboard correctly. * spaces are not handled or doubled * some words are magically duplicated sonstiges,... This affect all tools, as codemirror is widely used. Even this ticket is written in google keep and copied to the ticket ;) A possibility to disable codemirror, or an automatic fallback to a plain textarea would be great. I personally don't use the toolbar at all, so I wouldn't miss that feature. --- Sent from forge-allura.apache.org because dev@allura.apache.org is subscribed to https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/admin/tickets/options.
