Why didn't you just edit #8995?

If this is not present in 0.23.3, then it is a regression and needs to be posted in the RC issue, not as a separate issue.

Why didn't you just edit #8995?

because the edit view is very confusing unlike the view when you first make a bug report especially on phone screen... i wish we could have the same clear and simple layout in edit mode

but thats off-topic of this issue

its present in 0.22.3 and before... so yes not a regression

[opusforlife2]

Then please add it to the affected version in each of your issues.

[MD77MD]

its present in 0.24 and below.. btw have you noticed this issue?

[opusforlife2]

What I'm trying to tell you is that these bug reports are meant for release versions, not release candidates of upcoming versions. If you face this in the current release, you need to mention that in the description so that there is no confusion for devs, who might look at the "0.24" and think that it's a regression.

I face this on multiple apps, so it might depend on your keyboard app.

actually i only see this problem in newpipe, i use Samsung keyboard and Google keyboard (Gbord). so you see I am pretty certain that this is a bug in newpipe.
