Description

Editing notes on mobile devices usign any browser (Firefox, Chrome) presents with than pleasant experience, using the mobile "theme" :

  1. the notes open when clicked but the note content does not load
  2. the note content loads when i click on the title
  3. editing the note content is difficult with the cursor jumping all over the place (in markdown files) and generally acting weird
  4. unable to select note contents in any browser easily

Hmm, I just tested this on my Android 13 device / Chrome and can't reproduce any of these issues :-/

I should have added changing keyboards does fix these problems to a large extent, it's with google keyboard with the asisstive typing (swipe) on that most of this happens

Same, the editing experience on mobile is extremely wonky (in my case bordering unusable). I also get the cursor jumping places, clicking on the end of a bullet list entry does nothing (I would expect the cursor to move), attempting to delete stuff selects the space instead of deleting which is weird.
Using Mull (firefox fork) on Lineage OS 19.1 (Android 12.1).
I use SwiftKey, tried switching to AOSP Keyboard but changes nothing unfortunately.

interesting that these are some of the problems faced by me as well, does some of the wonkiness go away if you use a different keyboard?

You might want to try the new 0.56.1 - it contains upgraded CKEditor which apparently should have some IME improvements.

EDIT: just noticed you said "markdown notes" which uses CodeMirror and thus not affected by the upgrade.

I did upgrade and there seems to be some improvement even in markdown notes, not sure if this was intended or expected

Hmm, I did upgrade also CodeMirror by several versions, but since it's more or less at the end of life (v5), I didn't expect major IME improvements. Good to hear, though. I mentioned CKEditor since I actually saw they had a lot of IME work merged in the last versions.

I still get the cursor jumping around randomly and cannot select the end of a check list item (cursor goes to the beginning of the text of the list item)

I can confirm the problem is still there, are you able to select text?

I'm able to select text with no problems.

I'm able to select text with no problems.

I'm not able to select text still and though the caret jumping has improved, it is still there

Mobile editing is not possible on large notes that normally require the user to press the somewhat hidden (Edit this note) edit button in the browser/desktop applications.

In mobile view, the edit button is not there.
