**Platform** (Android):

\*_App version number_ Logs (version 1.20.31 - 462; user id - optilete; Android API = 29)

**URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages**:  
[https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/66520542](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/66520542) but also others.

**Screenshots of what you are seeing**  
see below

**Description of problem**

Step 1: I want to add a comment to an observation and press Commentaar

Step 2: I add a text.

Step 3: I press button \>\> and get a text message. ''Weet je zeker dat je dit commentaar wilt wissen?" No Yes"

Both options remove almost always my typed text.

Am I the only one with this problem?

For me, the problem is that the send icon is too small for me to hit exactly with my finger. The app interprets my attempts to hit send as a “click away” and so pops up that message. If I am extremely careful and hit the send icon just right, I don’t get the pop-up message and the comment goes through, but since I find that very difficult, I get the pop-up more often than not.

Yup, you get the question because it’s easy to click not on the button itself.

Thanks, Amy and Melody, so this should be a feature request (bigger button) instead of a bug. I did not place it in bugs cause I also found out it worked sometimes…
