What you were trying to do - On mobile, I was trying to edit a link in one of my posts before posting it. I tapped the link I wanted to change, used the edit link button in the pop up menu, and then filled in the URL in the dialogue menu.

What went wrong - When I tapped the Update button in the link dialogue, my tap not only added the link as requested, but immediately submitted the post using the button that was hidden underneath.

What you expected to happen - I expected that pressing Update would only change the link, and that I would be able to continue working on and reviewing my post until I was ready to submit it.

Browser and OS - Android Firefox on Pixel 7 Pro

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open a thread in a mobile browser.
  2. Type a short reply of approximately 20 words and post it.
  3. Edit the post, then insert a link to any URL using the words that are on the bottom row of the post, above the Save button.
  4. Tap the link and then tap the edit button, and ensure the Update button of the dialogue window is above the Save button of the post.
  5. Tap the Update button.
