Reactions! โค ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿค— ๐Ÿ‘ ๐ŸŽŠ ๐Ÿคฌ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@orenwolf @codinghorror (Apologies if this has been brought up before):

Is it possible that the code change that allowed the new reactions also made it easier to accidentally trigger Liking a post while scrolling?

I find that if Iโ€™m scrolling through posts and my finger lands on a heart to start a drag, I end up accidentally liking a post. This happens frequently now, and I swear it didnโ€™t use to happen.

I can reproduce it easily by initiating a drag action on a heart. If I do it quick enough that the reactions dialog doesnโ€™t appear (which is still not super-quick, itโ€™s clearly a drag) then I accidentally like the post. If the dialog appears, then the post does not get liked.

Possibly the timer that determines if the dialog should appear is swallowing the fact that itโ€™s a drag action?

Would it be possible to disambiguate drag action from tap actions on mobile?
