Can you also send that hand-entered dive as .ssrf export (you'll have to do that on your desktop)?

There are no different colors on my devices.  My guess is that this is Samsung's shitty Touch Wiz crap.

I think I know what you mean. This is an indication that the font size on the phone is quite big, but of course we shouldn't overflow the text field. I'll try to fix that.

Samsung Touch Wiz bug.

In my mind the the S6/Android 5.1.1 combination is just buggy as hell. Is there an update available for the S6? It's unfortunately a popular phone :-(
