Same with making a post. I accidentally cancel making a comment all the time while simply trying to select text.

Like this:

I select some text and them try to drag that little blue tear drop on the left to change the selection and invariably just close the comment editor. It’s so frustrating.

I have all gestures disabled because all they do is fire by accident, but I can’t see any way to disable this one.

Here is a screenshot of it in action. I turned on the developer option to show touches, and you can see how wide the activation area is for dragging from the left.

    Thanks for mentioning this issue as well! This behaviour is generally intended for iOS devices since thats the primary way to navigate back.

    I can disable the swipe gesture for this specific case on Android devices in the meantime, and perhaps add a setting which enables or disables this navigation gesture globally in the future (this would take a bit more time as there’s a lot of pages to consider)

    Like the other issues, I would suggest creating a new GitHub issue so that we can track this better. Thanks!
