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.
How about an option to switch the functionality? “Long press to: option A, option B, etc”
I’m a fan of this; it’s how Slide handled it.
I also prefer Slide’s method of collapsing comments; it only collapses the child comments, not the one you pressed on. (although it also has an option to collapse it too)
The “show content for collapsed comments” option does what I think you want. It’ll cause tapping on a comment to hide it’s children but otherwise leave that comment visible.
That it does, thank you! The highlighted
+Xindicator is appreciated as well.
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
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.
I prefer hold for selecting text, but collapsing it’s a better alternative that the current functionality of hiding the upvote buttons, that is pretty useless imo (can’t even think of a user case for that)
Ditto, Boost collapsed on touch and I didn’t have trouble opening links
I remember when this was a requested feature… Apparently it’s how it works in some reddit app
I like the comment collapse feature. It’s nice to be able to quickly collapse a long comment group. I’ve clicked on links before without a problem.
Long press would be good for selecting text though.
It’d be nice if the app remembered which comments I collapsed. It’s quite annoying having all the comments expand back after I write a reply.
Should be there in the next update for most cases, including replies.
Out of all the apps I tried on Android, only Connect has a special button to collapse comments. All the others work like Jerboa.
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.
Most Reddit apps I used worked like this by default. It’s not my preference either (I liked Slide because I could swap the tap and long-press actions) but I’m not complaining.
Disagree. I like it this way and have no problem with links.
Also to uncollapse them you have to tap the comment from the right side, otherwise youll go to their profile page. Perhaps the user link could be deactivated if the comment is collapsed.
