13. Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 In 4.3 button "Quote selection" always appears in the beginning of selected text, so we forced to make extra mouse move. It's very inconvenient. In previous versions it appeared near the cursor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Charles Posted March 9, 2018 Management Share Posted March 9, 2018 The method we use to do the selector was changed in 4.3 because the previous way was unreliable in some browsers and particularly on mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Angle Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Appears to the right for me, right under my mouse pointer after selecting text. Windows 10 with Google Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David.. Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I think 4.3 method works way better, the select text on touch screens was a hit or miss. However, I do think making the button appear at the end of the selection instead of the first word is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crmarks Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 On the latest Safari 11 on macOS 10.12 the selected text becomes deselected once the quote button appears, and then the button disappears as well. It's impossible to quote selected text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMXII Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Well, I had problems with "quote selection" under 4.2 (using the latest Firefox). The quote bubble did appear totally random: sometimes at the end of the selected text, sometimes a few lines above, sometimes never. So while I agree that it might be more convenient to have it at the end of the selected text, the way it works now is actually an improvement for me.

Adriano Faria Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It’s really worse. Now you need to select the text from the beginning to the end. In 4.2, I can select from the end to the beginning. It seems not a big thing, but it helps to not lose time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13. Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 1. 4.2: 4.3: 2. As you can see i've selected here last part of message with short downward movement. Everhthing works fine in 4.2: But not in 4.3: Because in 4.3 button does not appear in this scenario at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Rex Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If IPS is using a library for it's tooltips like Popper or Tether, there should be a positioning attribute that can be changed. In the examples above for 4.3 in example #1, you see the tooltip actually goes off-screen. Most libraries like Popper can take in viewport for ensuring the positioning is correct depending where the tooltip is invoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post some details on it (as soon as i have more time) in this topic. You're testing on what, 2... Maybe 3 browsers? I'm sure IPS has tested dozens of browsers across multiple devices types either during their regression testing or within support tickets. Your itty bitty sampling showing it works for you doesn't negate IPS' reasons for making the change... Could it work better, sure. I hope they put a little more love into it as 4.3 matures. But beating a dead horse over it during the beta isn't exactly useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsesx Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It works just fine for me on Vivaldi & Chrome browser on WIN 7 and Chrome on android 8. The button itself could need maybe an optical renovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_mortis Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 To me, it was annoyingly inconsistent in 4.2, and some change is welcome. However, I think a compromise should be made if possible - the quote popup should appear at the end that you finished the selection, so if you selected from left to right it should appear at the right, and vice versa. That way, it should always appear next to the cursor without resulting in the weird behaviour from 4.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I can look into having it show at the end as we now do on mobile. However, the 4.2 approach wasn't viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
