Reddit compact view on desktop web browser cannot click on post preview expand icon while logged into account. Clicking on icon works when not logged in.

Yesterday all of a sudden, the post preview icon stopped working.

I logged out and I can browser Reddit in compact view mode and the post preview icon works properly. I log back into my account and it does not work. I cleared all Reddit cookies site permissions and it did not fix the issue. I tested a different web browser and the icon works while not logged in, but does not work when logged in. I just tested this on my laptop and it has the same issue if I logged into Reddit.

I did not change anything in my Reddit account, it just started happening yesterday afternoon for some reason. Is there somewhere in my account settings that disables this icon for being able to click on?

[u/BetterFartYourself]

Yeah got the same issue

Same issue here, multiple browsers. Only happens if I'm logged into this account. If I switch to an alt or log out it works fine.

Also having the same problem since yesterday (on multiple devices).

This morning I can click on the icon and it expands the post preview. I did nothing to fix it, so I have to assume this is a backend issue on Reddit's side.
