Last character is getting removed automatically while using Octave online on mobile

[Siddhesh-Agarwal]

When using octave online on mobile the last character of the line gets removed automatically. Users can, from their end, add a semi-colon at the end of the line to fix the problem. But this is creating an inconsistency between mobile and desktop sites since using semi-colon at the line end is not necessary for desktop sites.

I further went ahead testing if adding any other character at line end will work since it is getting removed anyways. Turns out the answer is no.

PS - I am not sure if this problem can be reproduced with a mobile site view on desktops.

Update

• I am unable to reproduce this problem on a desktop (with mobile view). Which I think will imply that the problem is with mobile devices and not the mobile site.
• We can use space instead of a semi-colon in the end. I think that the compiler simply removes the ending space. (Just like the semi-colon)

Thanks for the report. This is a long-standing issue that I believe is related to the mobile keyboard. The following Knowledge Base page recommends scientific keyboards that can be installed on Android that work better with Octave Online than the default keyboard.
