Version

3.4.0

What were you trying to do?

Add multiple emojis to an existing post from the emojis picker.

What did you expect to happen?

When "keep picker open" is ticked, it stays open when an emoji is chosen, so another can be easily added as well.

What actually happened?

The modal goes away when an emoji is chosen.

Severity

I cannot use it as easily as I'd like

Ahoy there! It seems this is the same issue referenced in this pull request: #241

@floatingghost Can we take the statement on #241 (comment)

hiding is probably the best behaviour here, we don't want to encourage spamming reactions

as final?

Oh, if that's the case, then I suppose the bug is that the "keep picker open" checkbox exists in this modal context.

I can see how removing this functionality would prevent bad actors from spamming reactions. Unfortunate that's the case. Personally, I was trying to add just 2-3, as I sometimes have multiple feelings about a post. It's not common though, so I guess this isn't too big of an imposition.

Another use case I see people sometimes do, carried over from Discord reactions, is to spell out a word with the regional indicator emojis e.g. 🇨 🇺 🇹 🇪, but that can sometimes be worked around with custom emojis.

I'd definitely argue that keeping the picker open is an accessibility feature, but if y'all see it used more for harassment than good, maybe it's not worthwhile to keep this.

The people who do this don't really do it in a serious manner. It's either for jokes or it's to be annoying which just makes it less desirable to have this as a feature.

Can we maybe come to some compromise where it closes after 2 reactions being picked? That's the most common use case for me if I ever want to pick more than one.
