For those experiencing weirdness on deletion/selection with some Android keyboards, those should be (fingers crossed) fixed now. If you continue to have issues please report them!
There were also some more subtle bugs @sox interated on in this one.

If @rblb's fix holds, the underlying cause is that composition events, which are non-keyboard text input events (like autocomplete/spelling fixes), were bugged in some Android keyboards and would race during deletion/selection.
The fix here was to suppress composition events during deletion/selection, preventing them from doing nutty things.

Given that we don't need a fancy editor for markdown, I suspect we may go back to using a textarea for markdown input so that there's always a first class (as a far as the browser is concerned) way to add content. But, even then, fixing these bugs is important to providing a WYSIWYG on Android.
Big thanks to @rblb who will be netting 3m sats for this fix, and @optimism (300k) for a thorough bug report.
Happy to help 🫡
PSA: I'm hearing from @sox that I shipped this prematurely and there may be subtle issues.
We're reverting the fix for Android line break issues, because that's the reason that this wasn't ready for release. So Android folks should still see improvements but we'll need to spend a bit more time working on the line break weirdness.
The deletion error still persist for me (idk how?)
Also SN somehow adds ​​​"%E2%80%8B" behind several github url (what are these) even tho my link that i hid behind

That's weird. I'll create a GH issue. On the bright side, it's just a rendering artifact so it should go away once we fix it.
Yeah but after trying to type

Just noticed the editor acting up. First, pasting wasn't grabbing the whole clipboard—it kept cutting off at the linebreaks. Then it just glitched out like this, with the Markdown quote tags all broken. #1379760
Thanks! @sox is working on resolving the issues I presented by shipping this prematurely.
The thing causing those issues has been reverted in the meantime.
Just noticed #1379883 that after I dropped my text in the editor, the preview was messing up the line breaks. Once I picked the territory to post, it auto-edited my text and showed those breaks in the editor too. I just cleared 'em out and it’s all good now.
Great job. I was having a problem copy pasting nyms with other text but seems to be fixed now.

I edited my comment. Issue seems to be fixed now. I should have checked before original comment.
Hey guys, thanks that's super generous!
