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
Weevils.
Sometimes when I look at a thread, it will show the comments from the previous thread I viewed.
There’s also another error I’m getting: Value <html> of type java.lang.String cannot be conver…
This usually ends up in the wrong comments bug, no comments, no post, can’t make comment, etc.
Yeah, it looks like Jerboa will reuse the comment section, so you’ll see the previous thread’s comments until the new ones load.
Random crashes; opening a community shows the last community I viewed for a moment; can’t jump to comment replied via inbox; viewing comments that were in the inbox only sometimes clears them; inbox count usually does not match the number of messages present; some comments are not posted, with inscrutable technical errors popping up in unhelpful toasts.
“value of type java. String cannot be converted to JSON object” is basically every 1/3 post.
Heard from folks the app crashes the instant they opened it.
Reuses comments section from previous posts.
Can’t differentiate search by content vs search for communities,
Can’t just paste a community URL, or paste a post URL into search
If I’m typing a comment and I go back and edit a word in the middle, then tap the cursor back to the end and there’s a period there, the word in the middle I edited stays underlined and if I type more it’ll jump the cursor back to the underlined word and delete that word, replacing it with whatever I tried typing at the end.
I’ve had a bug were I try to scroll back up and it scrolls itself back down, so you never get anywhere - even though it looks like it’s moving.
I’m also seeing that typing bug.
What android version and phone do you have?
I am unable to comment in some .ml instances. I can comment and post no problem in my home instance and beehaw (I’m not sure if I can now due to them defederating) but not in two instances on .ml.
I can comment here interestingly enough. Otherwise the app is pretty dang responsive and runs better than my previous 3rd party reddit app. I have noticed some crashing rarely, but I think that may be due to my broken android install rather than the app itself.
Kudos to the developer(s) of Jerboa though, for an alpha this runs pretty well
For the ppl experiencing the typing bug, can you report it on GitHub along with a video of it. It hasn’t been reported yet and I can’t reproduce it.
I made a screen recording and uploaded it to Streamable, then added the link to a big report I added on Github. Hopefully that helps, I have never made a bug report before lol. Link is here -> (https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/748 )
What android version and phone do you have?
Not a bug specifically but the lack of pull to refresh, especially after timeouts, is super frustrating.
Also, how any submitted content is lost if an error happens after posting, eg a timeout or invalid language. It should be saved as a draft.
There’s already a feature request for a drafts feature, and it’s reasonably high priority, so it’ll probably get worked on soonish.
And pull to refresh works for me. Try updating.
Cool, thanks.
Weird that pull to refresh is working, I’m on the latest version and it isn’t for me. I’ll see if I can work out any consistent repo steps.
I have the same problem, and it makes commenting on the app aggravating, and posting on the app virtually impossible.
Yeah, writing in Jerboa kinda sucks at the moment, if I’m commenting anything longer than a sentance or two I generally just copy and paste it from my notes app!
Thanks everyone for these reports! Please don’t hesitate to report them to GitHub so the devs see them and prioritize them.
I’ll try to sift through these and get them added, but I’m probably not going to get everything.
can’t follow links in comments to communities and can only join them after finding a post and clicking the link.
also searching communities doesn’t seem to work.
I’ve been noticing that when I try to paste something on mobile, like a link, into my comment it will move the cursor to the beginning of my comment instead of where I want the pasted link to go
