Bug report: Replying to updates in Mobile Layout

[sauntvalerian]

I’m not sure if this has been reported, but I’m getting a strange behavior in the mobile version of the Boss theme. Several of our mobile users reported not being able to reply to comments on their phones.

I did a bunch of testing and found that once a reply is added to an update, new replies to the update could not be done. It is possible to reply to replies, but not possible to reply to the original update.

I have deactivated all the plugins on the site, and we are using the Boss child theme that ships with Boss.

It’s hard to describe it, so I put together a short screencast demonstrating the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu7OVeVD2Bc

@sauntvalerian I see the form display for an instant and then disappear in the video. Perhaps it is hidden by overflow. Either way I found an error in the code so try adding this to custom.css:
#buddypress div.activity-comments form.root{clear:both;}

Excellent @tjchester that seems to have fixed the flashing problem!

Thank you, that did fix the problem. Was that a problem in the theme itself that you found?

—Edited because I thought this fix highlighted another problem but it didn’t. The issue was with my phone’s keyboard—

@sauntvalerian this is an issue I found within the theme itself. This should be fixed in the next release.
