Description

All of the actions you can take on a post you are viewing appear to be in a context menu. On mobile, there is no mouse so you must long press to show the context menu. However, the browser uses the same action to show its context menu. This results in the browser context menu blocking the app context menu. You need to close that every time you want to interact with a toot.

Would be nice if there was an icon you could click to open the context menu instead. Or configurable options to expose icons for context menu items that you use frequently so you can do the actions in one click.

Thanks for the great client!

Research direction

Reproduce the long-press interaction on a mobile browser and inspect the post action context-menu entry point; no file or test is named in the issue. Compare an app-visible control with the browser's native menu, then verify that replying, boosting, and other post actions can be reached without the browser menu blocking them.
