Scrolling topics like:

  1. Improved code block sizing & color scheme
  2. Creating Custom Flag
  3. How can I tell if a particular distribution of the Discourse client is free software?

cause the Related topics to not appear at the bottom of the page. This was reproduced on longer topics like the ones listed above.

Could also repro on:

  1. Buttons for Scrolling to the Top/Bottom of Topics
  2. Journal Plugin

I suspect it happens on topics with 20 or more replies.

Repro steps:

  1. Enter a topic listed above, or any topic with >20 replies.
  2. Use the topic timeline to scroll to the topic post.
  3. Slowly scroll through the topic. You can read every post until you reach the bottom, or just scroll through the topic not too fast.
  4. Upon reaching the bottom, the Related topics section disappears.

Is this still happening? If so, this must be device dependent. I can’t repro on my iPhone 15 pro with any of those topics you posted.

I can still repro this.
Things to note while repro-ing:

  1. Enter the topic from the /latest.
  2. Use the topic timeline to scroll to the top.
  3. Scroll down slowly.
  4. Have 0 unread topics and 0 new topics in your Suggested topic list (only Related should be the option).

Adding a medium priority on this, we will get it sorted over the next 4 weeks.
