@MechaSilvio @jimmybuffettfanaccount @alex There was some weirdness recently with chrome/brave deleting text before and after the cursor whenever you used backspace in certain text fields, which soapbox happened to use. Now it only does it after using a long press to delete whole words, but refuses to delete the first character on a given line.
My point is that it could still be Apple's fault for being broken, but most sites just don't use the more feature-filled text boxes.
