We've seen a handful of peeps are reporting that the page is "jumping" and it's not specific to members that see or don't see ads, (that was my first guess).

If you're seeing this, reply with VERY specific details of the problem, exactly what is happening, when it's not, and what exactly goes on when it happens? Also post info about the device you are on and the browser & version.

Thanks!
 
The page jumps when I'm typing... But it's random, not consistent. It's worse when I try to add emojis. It moves the cursor around in the text field, or sometimes it will bump me all the way up to the top of the page. Sometimes it does it when I'm finished typing and attempt to post, it jumps up to the top of the page.
I'm using an Android mobile with Chrome browser.
 
I think you might be on to something with the emojis. It does happen a lot then.

Also sometimes when I hit enter/try to go down

I'm on my cell phone device. I notice it to be jumping about when I try to put in BYC emojis & then try to return to my text box, which in itself is awkward since working in a 1"x2" area of the screen. It just this instant did it, when it threw up the blue box about more messages being posted.....

and it jumped me to a different location of the page. Also Android & Chrome.

Yes, I have also noticed that the “view new messages” pop up interrupts my typing. It is pauses text entry and moves your screen view up to where you can see the message. So for example when I was typing my view looked like this

Then the pop up came, interrupted my text entry and shifted my screen view to this (it no longer shows anything I typed in the comment box. It is only showing the pop up and the end of a post I quoted from someone else)

On a slow moving thread, the issue is not very noticeable. But on a fast moving thread (like the feedback thread the first day of the update) it really becomes obvious.

I am using safari web browser on my iPhone running iOS 12.4.1

Exactly what it's doing on mine, to me.

That popup is culprit!!!

X 2, on mobile device not using the app.
 
Yeah, me too on mobile
Device.

(It just did it there on the word Device... I hit space bar and it jumped down a row.)

it happens often when I hit enter. If it hit it one time, it will usually go one line down and when i hit it the second time is when things go wonky I believe. It it also interesting that it is not recognizing “enter” to start a new sentence and won’t capitalize the first word....

many times that second enter will cause the cursor to jump somewhere with highlighted text and as soon as you type, it deletes whatever is highlighted.

mine happens regardless of emojis.

iPhone safari.

This is what mine is doing too or similar. When I hit enter it will often jump somewhere or highlight something and delete it. But it’s not consistent and doesn’t happen every time I hit enter. But pretty often and sometimes does it when I add emojis too. But the hitting enter and it deleting highlighted stuff happens quite often. But sometimes when I add emojis it deletes what was there. I have found hitting the undo button I can reverse it but it’s pretty annoying and also makes me look like an idiot sometimes when I hit post and something random is deleted/missing. :lau I have to check before I hit post. Also it does not seem to ever jump down for me. Always jumps up in the text box.
