Don't reload the page when publishing a comment with Reply Tool on mobile
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This task is about iterating on the Reply Tool "publishing moment" to make it feel more "fluid." Currently the interface jumps around quite a bit. More in the ===Behavior section below...

Environment

  • Platform: iOS 15.2.1
  • Browser: Safari
  • Device: iPhone Xs

Behavior

🎥: Screen recording https://youtu.be/LKs_94Pyorw

  1. Visit a talk page on a wiki where the mobile Reply Tool is available. E.g. https://simple.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Talk:Cats?dtenable=1.
  2. Open a section and tap a Reply link to open the Reply Tool
  3. Draft a comment
  4. Tap the Reply button to publish the comment you drafted in "3."

Actual

  1. ❗️Notice you are returned to the view of the talk page with all of the sections/discussion within in collapsed, the viewport is then scrolled to the collapsed section you published a comment within, the section expands, and finally the comment you published in "Step 4." is highlighted in yellow

Expected

  1. ✅ Notice the comment you published in "Step 4." is highlighted in yellow, without the page jumping around
