Same issue on iOS, because of the popup above.

We should definitely move it below, we have no choice on mobile.

Yeah but that’s _desktop_ not mobile layout. I have multiple screenshots of it doing below on the iPhone 6s.
So perhaps then the “fix” is “behave like mobile here in all cases and place the button below”.

Kind of – depends if we classify Android as “mobile” or not, which might be a problem for the few rare larger Android tablets.. not a problem at the moment since we almost completely lump all Android devices into mobile, but may not be that way in the future, which would make the OP a bug again.

O wait I didn’t notice OP was on Android. Let me confirm.

Conceptually, I kinda think it should be
`if (isMobileDevice || isIOS || isAndroid)`
Since there are “not-mobile” devices in both categories, yes?
