While the emoji autocomplete does not work when you add a colon behind a letter, it offers emojis when you do the same after a punctuation mark (like _ - : ; . , ). But when you use the autocomplete, the emoji is inserted at the beginning, replacing the first letter, and not at the position you were typing.
I first noticed it in chat, but the topic composer behaves the same.
I can no longer repro this, I believe @kelv fixed it.
I can still reproduce this.
I typed:
Let’s write some text, and add an emoji
And then I tried to add an emoji behind the comma.
Is this only an iOS thing? Are other browsers impacted?
I don’t know if it’s an iOS thing. It’s definitely not limited to iOS because I don’t own an iOS device.
The latest repro is on my Android tablet using Firefox. (I just checked it’s the same in Chrome)
Based on the filename, time of the report, and the fact that there is no onscreen keyboard in the OP, that was probably Edge on Windows 10.
