Q&A on Non-Moderation Matters (Mechanics, How-To, etc.)

Noticed something strange with the new emojis. When using a Chrome browser on my phone, selecting one seems to leave the focus on the field, even after I have scrolled down the page. Moving on the page could lead the emoji to become deselected. So, I could press Like, scroll down, and watch my Like vanish. The workaround to that was to like it again and press something else on the page to change the focus.

This morning, something worse happened. I was liking a post in the Odd Stuff topic, scrolled down to read the last post, and noticed at the bottom of the list that I had somehow closed the topic! The actions icon is in line with the emojis when viewed on my phone, but pressing that shouldn’t be enough to close anything. It took me two steps to reopen it. I’m still not sure how that was possible. @codinghorror, is there some way to change this focus issue or adjust the position of the topic actions link so it can’t be affected by odd emoji selection behavior?
