In the last couple of weeks the site seems to have broken the correction suggestion feature on my phone.
Every other site is still fine, but here it seems to either correct to the wrong word (gibberish) or not change at all.
I'm guessing there's some JavaScript added to the page that has a race condition that fails when more than one character is edited in the text box at once. Or some code that assumes that text can only be entered at the cursor position onwards.
Please could someone fix it as it makes it very hard to write posts that make sense on a phone without worrying auto correct suggestions!
Basically if I write a word, click back on it to choose an alternative, rather than replacing the whole word, it sometimes starts overwriting characters starting with the cursor position with the replacement word.
