browser area for twitter compose is almost clickable, definitely frustrating

[Grant Bowman]

1. Launch twitter app
2. login as usual
3. try to click the icon to compose a tweet in the far upper right corner

result: almost can't click it. I tried for several minutes

expected: clickable

workaround: I switched to the regular browser and finally clicked it after several minutes of attempts. Just a guess, there may be a pull down menu bar hot spot mostly hovering over it except for a strip of pixels or something. It was a bit of a disturbing experience I hope newcomers to this platform do not have to go through.

aha, another workaround is https://twitter.com/intent/tweet described https://dev.twitter.com/docs/intents

I can reproduce the issue. Tapping very carefully, sharply with a small surface of my finger on the compose button, I manage to hit it, but it takes some training, so it’s not really an acceptable situation.

I don’t think it has to do with a pull down menu bar or something. The twitter web app is known not to work well on Ubuntu Touch (there is a bunch of similar bug reports) most likely because it makes wrong assumptions based on the user-agent string the browser app sends. We’re working on fixing this.
