What kind of bugs are you guys getting? (lemmy.ml)

Ive been getting a bug where typing in the app, like a comment or something, if I repeatedly press backsapce to fix a typo or something, it will delete the spaces before words.

Also saving an image crashes the app every time.

And sometimes the names of communities in feed get their last word removed. So I would see post from 'you should' rather than 'you should know'

And also, the app constantly goes back to the top of 'Subscribed - Active'. So if ive been browsing 'All - Top day' for an hour, sometimes clicking on a post and then backing out again will jump straight back to top of 'Subscribed - Active'.

Edit: a one that comes up for me too is getting messages appear on screen for a couple of seconds. Sometimes they say 'Timeout' but other times its 'Value <html'> of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject'

Not sure what that means but just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else is experienceing similar

Can you provide more info on the bug? Like you just type a message, and then mash backspace and it deletes the wrong thing?

I'm not seeing that on my device. But if it's reproducible, I can file a bug for it.

Btw, what version of Android do you have? And what version of the app?

In my case, I have the typing bug. I'm on Android 9 and am using app version 0.0.33 (the most recent update from f droid)

And yes, basically, say I'm typing a comment like this one. I'm writing a sentence and make a typo in a word. If I start repeatedly hitting backspace to go back and fix the typo, it will start removing the spaces before words.

It does it in order, working backwards from the last word you typed.

Version 0.0.34 from F-Droid. Android 9.

I'm not sure of the exact cause but I usually encounter it after writing a few lines and then I click the screen to make an edit to an earlier part and it appends the text to the end of the string rather than where I clicked. To work around it I have to delete to the part I want to edit and write it again. It does not occur in any other apps I use.
