Androids limitations in posting answers in G2G?

I have noticed that I can't use my Androidphone to answer questions in G2G, unless I only use 12 lines of text or less.  At 13 lines the save and cancel buttons disappear.

I've also encountered problematic behavior using G2G on my Android phone (as I am doing right now).

My main challenge has been that the ability to edit or add to the end of a comment goes away as I get to the bottom of the edit box. If I plan in advance, I can defeat that by inserting blank lines after the comment, before I start typing. If I forget to do that, sometimes I just save the comment, then go back and edit it.

The answer box is longer, so I don't collide with the end of it nearly so often. I've never been completely unable to save an answer, though. I don't recall what I've done to evade the problem you describe; I think the save button might reappear if I move up to the middle of the box and start typing there.
Hi,

I don't know if this will work however have you ever tried pushing the maximize button. Its the last button located right under your Paragraph Format button that normally says "Normal".

I saw your other question post you did and wasn't ignoring it however I wasn't sure what to suggest but hopefully this will help.

Thanks for choosing Wikitree!
There are no format buttons showing up at all.  Just the white space witH a green box around it and only an add and. Cancel button.  The same us true for this comment box I am using now, ie after 12 lines the Add comment and cancel buttons disappear.
Hmm I perplexed I see what you mean.

I bumped into this problem a few minutes ago while composing an answer. The only workaround I could find was to backspace to the end if the last line before the "Add answer" button disappeared, then submit my answer (never mind that it ended in the middle of a sentence) and edit it after it was saved.
