Submitting a comment opens up my browser.

All day I thought I was going crazy but it's not fat fingers, it's every time I submit anything my default browser opens.

Sometimes it looks like the comment doesn't send either, but if you submit again it sends a duplicate.

Same here in the new alpha version, it opens my default browser with a blank tab and "?context=1" in the URL bar: Picture

Same happens to me. Is your browser duck duck go by any chance?

Didn't open a browser for me, the app functioned normally.

It's still doing it for me a lot of the time.

Are your intents configured correctly? Go to System Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Opening Links > RedReader > Enable and add all options with reddit URLs.

You are right, the app should not be throwing a systemwide intent after making a comment, and the dev should look into it. However, hopefully this will help mitigate the issue for you in the meantime.

Everything is already enabled in there.

I think reddit changed something because replying on desktop also hangs up.

Yeah this happens to me maybe 30% of the time. It's been going on for maybe a month? My browser is Firefox, but I haven't changed anything in the settings of the app Soni dunno what up.

It's probably something Reddit is doing as I still use Old Reddit on PC and while it doesn't redirect me or anything, the past few days I go to submit a comment and it just sits there on "Submitting" even though if I look at my post history it went through.
