A few of our users are complaining of issues when trying to post using iPhones (5S and 6)  
When clicking in the window it jumps away.

> The whole text box starts hopping away from your touch to the bottom of the screen and from the bottom back up to the top. It can take about 3 goes before it settled down.

And

> It’s a bit hard to reproduce reliably, but it’s definitely not stable

Here is a screenshot:

@sam is going to make the editor full screen on mobile soon.

In the meantime, tell people to touch **and hold the touch** to get the cursor in the right place.

Long story, but iOS 8 appears to be [permanently buggy](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dealing-with-ios-8-mobile-safari-bugs/24101/13) in this regard.

I did make some improvements, but Safari is mega hacky. Going to have no choice but to go full page, just don’t want to rush it.

I am closing this, mobile composer works reasonably well now on iPhone, latest version should be deployed at yours in the next 20 mins
