    There's also this alternative, although I'm not sure exactly how much it'd help.

    This is what we'd need to do. It looks pretty weird though, perhaps even inconvenient.

Enjoying the new Crime - but with the interface I'm sometimes criting by accident on mobile.

 

The issue?

 

When I want to changee to capitalise I sometimes end up clicking the action button - shooting me all the way to the right into a red zone. The area to select capitalise is right next to the action button on my phone's display.

 

I'm not sure what exactly the fix could be? One mitigation could be that once you're in the $$$ zone your action automatically updates to capitalise? It's all shifted to the left so that capitalise doesn't sit above action? Or the action button is disabled whilst you've got the different options open?

 

Thanks!

This is perhaps an acceptable solution, but I will have to refer this to Joe and ask our designer to see if this is something that we need to change.

 

 

Thanks!

We tried a concept and it was certainly a solution, but it just looked a bit weird out of context. If there were a lot of complaints regarding this, it'd be worth us taking action, but for now I don't think it's worth it.

I’ve hit this a few times as well - maybe moving the emoji bar to the left (aligning with capitalise instead of accelerate) would mitigate most of it.

It's a problem on mobile. Would certainly be better to have more left aligned. Super frustrating to lose CE and progress through unintentional action.

On mobile I've done this more then once thought I was just dumb glad I'm either dumb with others or it's an improvement that could be made to UI

(I am not OP just thought to mention bc i know you guys have a lot to read)

But this one looks better at least, more space for the thumb to not accidentally click something else at the right.
