[Steemit More Info] Posting bug with the GIF button
I had never tested the GIF button of Steemit More Info before but yesterday I decided to give it a try. I was replying to a comment and thought a GIF would fit well at the end of my reply so I clicked this button. While searching for a GIF I realized that the page had moved in the background so I closed the GIF window to check what had happened. It turns out my comment was being posted, the posting had probably been triggered by the GIF button. As I'm sure you can understand, it makes this button close to useless. I say close to useless because it still works when no text exists in the text area. Here is a GIF showing the expected behavior, hence adding the GIF to the text area.
You can see everything is working well, not much to comment on. However, here is a GIF of what happens when clicking the same button but with text in the text area.
This one is problematic. I write a random piece of text and then want to put a GIF in but can't because of that bug. I find it really weird that the posting button would get triggered when clicking on the GIF button. I first thought that Steemit was the problem. I thought it was simply listening to any button being clicked and then posting the content if the check returned true. However, I find it highly unlikely because I found out by looking at the DOM that clearing the post is also done through a button click. While it should be fixed as soon as possible, I would be fine with this bug if it only existed for comments. Sadly, as you can see in the following GIF, it's not the case.
The same bug happens when writing a post and this is more problematic. Bots often like my posts for example (I don't understand why but they do). This would make me unable to delete a post wrongly published just because I wanted to search for a good GIF and didn't know about this bug.
This report is really short but there is not much to say, the bug is pretty straight-forward and easy to reproduce. It has been encountered on Google Chrome 62.0 with Steemit More Info 1.5 if that's of any use to you @armandocat.
