Chrome + Mac OS = I cant post more than 10 lines of content, the "Post Discussion" button disappears

These buttons at the bottom disappear as I add new lines and expand this text box. There seems to be no scroll.

Happens on Safari and Mac OS 10.15.4 as well.

Yup, on my iPad with the Safari browser as well.

I can work around it if I change the font size to 75%.

Me too on my iPhone.

Ok Ill try my other phone (Android) and ill just email it what I want to post and give it a try. Hopefully someone is able to fix that bug.

 

Font size change didnt get me much more.

I've discovered a work-around until this is fixed:

 

Type however much you want. Then highlight all of it and hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy it). Then refresh the page and paste your copy, replacing the text that is in there after the refresh.

 

If you have the patience to wait for the auto-save notification, then all you have to do is hit refresh.

 

The refresh brings back the buttons, so you just have to take steps to save your text (by either method).

@Than_Bogan

Do you really get it to work after the refresh? I get the same issue, or do you wait for auto save then come into your drafts and find it? I thought of that, not sure how long you have to let it wait.

[Than_Bogan]

@smokevw I don't understand your question, I'm afraid. For me, refreshing the page always brings back the buttons. The only question is how to keep all the text you created, and I prefer to do that the "safe" way by copying all of it into the copy buffer (Ctrl-C on a PC). You could go "ultra-safe" and copy it into Word or Notepad or the like -- that way you could see that you've got it. But I trust the copy buffer.

Did you try to hit the tab key a couple times to see if you could tab to the "Post Comment" button? That has worked for me in Chrome on Windows and made the buttons visible again.

Yes yes yes I know about the problem. Developers have been working on a fix for over a week. The trick is to finish your text and then wait till auto-saves and then refresh the page. After you refresh the page all of your text should be there and the post comment button will be there.

 

Or use @Than_Bogan's method

[smokevw]

BAM @MISkier you nailed it :)

 

Tab brings it back. Back to my larger posting now.

 

Thanks

I have found if I rotate my view from portrait to landscape and then back to portrait the button comes back... sometimes :)

[Horton]

Day or two and it will be fixed

Same problem. One more question, how do you reply specifically to another’s post. Am I not seeing the button? This is the first place I’ve seen a ‘vanilla’ forum
