Plus/minus (expand/collapse) signs on Android tablet no longer persistent or on right-hand side

I use WorkFlowy on two Android devices: a phone and a tablet. Until a couple of days ago the plus and minus signs on both devices were located on the right side of the screen and were persistent. Now the phone behavior is unchanged but on the tablet the plus and minus signs appear only when I hover over a bullet point with a stylus, and then they appear to the right of the bullet point, overlaying the text. If I touch the plus or minus sign with the stylus, it expands or collapses the node.

What this means is that the built-in Android-specific (or mobile-specific) behavior of having persistent plus and minus signs on the right of the screen has stopped working on the larger screen. I can still get the functionality by using the stylus, but still it is really inconvenient.

On both devices the default browser is Chrome. The tablet is Android 8 something and the phone is Android 6 something.

I'd be grateful if the former behavior could be restored.

Do you use the web site (you mention Chrome) or the Android app? Can you be more specific about which tablet shows this behaviour? Manufacturer, exact Android version (you can find it in the Settings). Some vendors modify the Android user interface, so it will help Workflowy's support to be as exact as possible.

Thanks Clark, we'll take a look at this. Someone else on Android 8 tablet complained as well.

This should now be fixed in the latest update.
