Default Question about "@" referencing a user in a post

Hi - I'd like to reference a user in a post with the "@" symbol so they get a notification, but if the user namer has a space in it, and the part of the name after the space makes it too far down the list that pops up, and that list is a static size, apparently, so I can't make the reference. Am I doing something wrong or is there a different way to do this? Thanks!

Just type the. @Keithhu . Interestingly you appear half in and half out of the popup window.

That new for me.

But interestingly, it's only when I try to poke you on the first line. All is good down a few lines in page.

I have also seen it act up in pasted info.

@Jackie Paper works

@Jackie Paper It works when I mention you because you appear in the list, but for example when I'm trying to mention Steve Cole, I type "@steve", I see the pulldown list but he does not appear in the list to choose from.

The list is aphabetical, but wont scroll further past the As as you can see here

As soon as I hit the space bar at the end of Steve, the list goes away. Could be a browser issue. I'm using edge/mac. Let me try chrome.....

Nope, happens on Chrome too, trying Safari....

Also happens on Safari. WTF

Steve..... Please excuse us for doing some forum issues questions.

Steve Cole

Mine does similar to what you are saying. When I hit the space bar, it drops the window. But as soon as I hit the C, it reappears.. On an Galaxy S24 Ultra Android using Chrome.

Only saved it as a screen shot so I didn't poke Steve Cole.

OMG you're right. I'm such an idiot. Thanks for pointing it out. I was quitting when I saw the list go away after the space. SMH.

Is a bit of a shortcomings. If you were just searching, would not show any options as soon as you hit space.

Noticed another quirk. I can proof read and proof read and Google will change something on a save. Then when I bring up edit, if the post is long, this phone can't decide what area I am trying to drag down.

I jump to advance and drag it and it only let's me drag it that limited popup before moving whole screen.

Then I hit previews and, move to another area if it needs editing.

That just started a few months ago.
