A bug which affected only left handed users

10 hours ago

A bug in WordPress affected left-handed users by unintentionally triggering a reply link when scrolling with the left thumb.
The bug was caused by an outdated 'touchstart' listener that was unnecessary due to modern browser improvements.
A fix was implemented by deleting a few lines of code to prevent accidental triggers during scrolling.
The author humorously discusses handedness biases and suggests a hypothetical meta tag to exclude left-handed users.
Commenters reflect on broader societal biases related to handedness, accessibility, and user behavior.
