Design issue Hard to select +Quote when selecting text on Android

[Jon W]

When phone is in portrait and end of text selection is towards the left-hand side of the screen, the text selector overlaps that +Quote link, which then becomes unclickable unless you zoom in loads.

Same for me. Enlarging the page help, but often kills the selection.

Roughly, we consider this a design issue. It's not possible to control the selection handles and they vary between OSes and even flavors of Android.

An alternative approach would have to be taken, such as moving the links away from the selection. It's something we experimented with during development and felt that it was lacking in many cases.
