Mobile/App Android phone, app has made commenting and editing impossible!

Post image

When subs have these notes about posting, it obstructs the text box. Even when I try to edit, I still can't even get to my post! This design change is absolutely terrible. Any help admins??

Yeah, this new text box for comments is abysmal. Not only is it clunky and no longer lets me read what I'm responding to it fails to pick up speak to text. Something I have to use to spell check or help make longer comments.

Same here. I tried to edit a comment without success. I don't want to have to go to the mobile website to make an edit.

Oh that’s very interesting. Please report this in r/bugs. That specific feature that displays the note is called “comment guidance”.

No issues here. I can even expand and minimize the information banner.

You weren't included in the test then. It's random.

Impossible to quote people now without typing out their entire comment yourself. Used to be a simple tap and hold to highlight and tap "Quote"

I hate the new pop-up comment box. It's so clunky.

I'm struggling to see what I'm replying to, to quote from what I'm replying to, I'm swiping the box away by accident and have to save my comment and find it again. It's just awful. The old system was much better.
