Comment collapsing bug

Apollo has had a bug for years where if you hold your finger in place for a certain duration before scrolling, the comment collapsing doesn’t cancel when you do finally scroll.

From that point, you just move your finger and nothing happens — the comment stays highlighted as if it’s about to collapse, it doesn’t scroll, and you know what’s going to happen next: as soon as you release your finger, the comment will collapse. If you’re reading a long comment or post, this is a time to finish your sentence, because you’re about to have to go reopen the collapsed node, and find your place again. There is no way to cancel the collapse; scrolling was meant to do that.

I hit it so frequently, and it is so incredibly frustrating, that it ruins the app for me. If you can’t reproduce it, then keep trying, because I can repro about 1 in 10, a little more often than I naturally hit it when scrolling normally. Obviously you have to scroll before the tap-hold kicks in.
