Trying to use the template editor to test something on a phone is impossible due to the constant refreshing and parsing of the current content.
Also it is really hard to delete the default blurb that appears on opening the editor.
It wasn’t always this way. Sometime in the last few months it seems it became impossible to use on Android.
Previously the Developer Tools section used standard text fields, but then it switched to the “CodeMirror” code editor late last year. This provided a lot of improvements (line numbers, syntax highlighting etc) but unfortunately is extremely buggy on mobile devices.
They’ve been working on a complete rewrite (CodeMirror 6) for like the past two years now which is intended to fix the mobile issues, but no ETA for that.
