On mobile, enter multi-select mode. Click around on different items to select/deselect them.
Expected result
The items become highlighted (selected) or un-highlighted (deselected) as you press them.
Actual result
Most of the time it behaves as expected, but occasionally (~15% of the time) when selecting an item it will open the keyboard with the cursor at the beginning of the item and clear out all of your other selected items.
I noticed this when selecting some items in my grocery list, and after selecting ~10 items the keyboard popped up and cleared all of the selections and I had to start over again. For bulk actions on many items this bug makes it really hard to use the feature.
Hadn’t noticed that! I can repro as well. Do you know of other cases as well? It would be good to document all the ones you’ve seen so they can fix them all at once.
Additional detail: the cursor gets activated where it last was, which may be offscreen. If so, the next tap select results in both that offscreen item and the tapped item to be selected. This is VERY bad.
Possibly the program should take the last-tapped item as the active one. Then if the selection is deleted or moved or checked off and hidden, in any of these cases, the active item moves to the next/previous item as appropriate. (Aside: checking doesnt do this right even apart from multi select mode). If not in select mode then the cursor can move there. the other way you might fix this: Select mode removes the cursor Position and no options establish a cursor until the mode is turned off
