Some problems encountered when using the mobile markdown editor (beta)

Features
1

When using list options and checkbox options on my computer, if I want to cancel, I can do it with a single click of "enter".

When I use the mobile terminal, if I want to cancel the above operation, I have to click "Enter" twice to do so, so that there is an extra blank line, and I have to delete it, which affects the layout feeling of the editing area. , although I know that doesn't affect the final result.

I have recorded android and windows screen videos for your reference.

Note: This behaviour change is a result of updating to CodeMirror 6 — this particular keyboard shortcut is built-in.

Here's why I think they made the change.

In the screen recording above, notice that

1. Test 1
2. Test 2
3. Test 3
Test4
1. Test1

renders as

As such, the blank line is needed to mark the 1. as part of a new list.

Additionally, if the extra blank line is not deleted,

Test 3, while it does not in the preview pane. Opening the developer tools and looking at the HTML source for the preview, we see that "Test 4" is included in the (list item) that contains Test 3

the text on the line just after the list (Test 4 above) is included within the last item of the list!

Thank you for reporting this — it looks like other people find this behavior confusing!

(I agree that it would be nice if the extra blank weren't needed :slight_smile: )

:heart:Thanks, I see now, this seems like an advantage, after all mobile is not a double column.
