Disable like and repost buttons while scrolling

When scrolling through a feed on a smartphone my thumb keeps landing right on the Repost button, accidentally opening the repost pop-up menu.

Typically this isn't too big of a problem but today I managed take it a step further and subsequently hit the Repost option within that menu on an A+ photo and not noticing it for several hours.

Please consider disabling the Like and Repost buttons while the page is in motion. This will help people like me avoid a lot of awkwardness.

    You shouldn't have this issue anymore with the new layout :)

      Luke Rowley just tested it - I was still able to accidentally repost but it was less likely. It does require the second interaction to be an accidental tap rather than a drag.
