On devices, on browser mastodon, replying opens a publish window, with all but the first account name selected, and typing without first carefully clicking away the selection, deletes all but the first name/handle.
It can be annoyingly difficult to get rid of selection without deleting names.
Is it done on purpose? Is there a code error that can be rewritten? It makes responding always begin with a high attention annoyance.
