Minus key unusable for some during player suggested damage/healing in player view
For some folks on their phones/tablets they are unable to use/see a 'minus' symbol so they cannot suggest healing using this epic initiative feature. Weirdly it shows up on player suggested tags.
What sort of phones have this issue? This is a weird one, as far as I know both Android and IOS will display a minus sign for numeric inputs.
Galaxy S8 Model SM-G950U1 Running Android v9, Kernel 4.4.153 Using Chrome
However another user has an S8 and does not have the problem. Galaxy S8 Android v9.4.00.45 Uses Samsung Browser
So, maybe a Chrome + Samsung bug?
Mine is a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Model: SM-G935V Running Android 8.0.0
When I go to input damage/healing I get what looks like a ten key set of buttons UI. It also has a decimal, but no plus or minus symbol. Its the same type of UI that would show up for my phone if I was entering information to a numbers only field.
Let me know if there is any more info you need and hope this helps.
Thanks so much for making this!
If it helps, I think the issue is very similar to this one here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21677695/input-type-number-not-possible-to-insert-negative-numbers-on-mobile-phone
It looks like this is a design issue with Samsung phones. I'd accept a pull request to fix this, perhaps by adding a small +/- button to the prompt itself.
It looks like the problem won't occur on Samsung browser, so the workaround could simply be to make sure to use samsung browser on those phones. Since our players switched to it, there's no issue.
Some of my players have the same issue. Work around works however it would definitely be more convenient if they were able to use their preferred browser.
