Is anyone else finding R coding in the Android app to be buggy?

Sometimes, when I look at my code vs the "hint" code, they look identical, but my code doesn't pass the tests. If I change the layout of my code to emulate the exact position of linebreaks, etc. sometimes that's enough to "fix" it, e.g. in one exercise I moved ELSE to follow immediately after the closing curly brace of the IF statement, instead of having ELSE on a new line - suddenly my code passed! I think it's something to do with the way the Android app is doing spaces / indents / line breaks. There was another piece of code that I couldn't get to pass at all on the app, so I saved it and exited, then opened up SoloLearn in a web browser on my PC. When I opened the same activity, I could see line breaks in odd places, most importantly part way through setting a parameter, which would obviously cause problems. On the app, to be clear, there were NO line breaks in these locations! When I fixed the layout on the PC, it passed the tests just fine.

Lisa have you encountered such bug in the R playground? Anthony Hasseldine I don't write R but is there any way to consistently reproduce the bug? Does it occur in a specific lesson's test, or the code playground in general? What was your code that failed, and how did you rearrange it to make it work? Maybe it's a problem with syntax but it would be easy to determine from a concrete example.

No, I didn't encounter an issue. Can you try to reproduce the error and link the code bit?

could it be something in your keyboard or language settings that is using unrecognized or invisible characters?
