Here's another new one.

You cannot access the text under the left margin.

Again I don't understand how you're getting all these problems. I even installed Google Keyboard (am using it to type this message) and can't replicate the issue.

Considering nobody else can replicate this I strongly suspect the problem is with you, an add on you’ve got installed or even with Gboard.

As others have asked - if you go with the Apple bulk standard keyboard does the problems still crop up? Hold your finger down on the globe button to switch.

Lastly. Please clear your cache. Settings —> Safari —> Clear Website Data.

So I decided to try and replicate(all these lovely errors that gboard decide to make, it's terrible stop using it) it and I also cannot. Even with Gboard installed.

Also gboard is extremely bad on iOS im not surprised...

Edit... Going back broke the reply button... Even though the text was cached. Just had to copy and paste this just to reply

GBoard makes marginally fewer errors in swipe typing than the Apple version.

The back button thing always happens to me. Even in OSX. If I try and post something with too many quotes for example, when it refuses to post it and I click back, all the text I typed is gone.

The reply button disables itself as designed after somebody clicks / taps it to prevent double, or 20x posts (seriously - don't know how somebody did that). I think Mauricio made the change around a month ago.

I think I figured it out.

On iOS Safari, you can change the font size on the page in real time by pressing on the AA logo in the address bar. Great if you don't like squinting at 2mm high text!

The GZ software doesn't play nice with that feature. It causes the formatting to go all wrong but the font size doesn't actually change.

What should happen is that the fonts get bigger and nothing else changes (I think) but that's not what happens.
