This submission form rejects any phone number with spaces, hyphens, parentheses, etc. It doesn’t tell you why it’s rejected, it just say your number doesn’t “match required format.”
Turns out it’s treating it as one big number. If you hit the arrows the number goes up or down.
There's an entire Subreddit dedicated to it now. R/badUIbattles
My favourite kind of subreddit: one where you don't need to interact with the comments at all!
