UI Error on mobile foldables

v2026.2.0-latest +1 seems to have introduced (at least for my installs) that mobile rendering only shows threads and content on half (left half) of the screen when foldable is “wide”

Header, footer, and column headers (“topic replies, views activity”) are all full width

Tested across 2 sites, same results. Not an issue here on meta.

Same issue if loaded while folded or unfolded

MAY NOT have been 2026.2.0, I only update once a week

Edit, Changed category from Support to Bug

have you tried in safe mode?

Good question, I had not.

I now have, same issue

(Firefox and Chrome, android current builds)

This might have to do with the changes to deciding desktop/mobile views based on viewport size :thinking:.

i know a certain staff member who has a foldable mobile who can test this - i will attempt to summon them…

There was another topic about the change to choose mode based on screen width instead of the separate mobile mode a while back:

Moved this to UX as it’s functional, just not optimal.

The elements are probably using a different (type of) media query.

I don’t have a foldable so might be more tricky to test/repro than to fix. @Falco Don’t you? If so, ping me for a CSS collab xD

Here is what I see on my OnePlus Open:


Everything looks good to me.

@pmcpa also said that it’s not a problem here

Correct, no problem here on meta, problems on self hosted (2x sites I run). Samsung fold

Update to add, once on a thread all is normal.

The best thing to do is share your site URL so people can take a look.

If you don’t want to do that, you can try disabling customisations until it works.

I can understand that you don’t want to share your forum publicly. Maybe you can find another forum with the same problem on https://discover.discourse.com/ and share that.

You can also try the different themes here on Meta and on try.discourse.org. Though, since safe mode didn’t help, it doesn’t seem that likely it will help.

Perhaps that is the change that caused the problem. Is that within the week between your updates?

Hello :waving_hand:

The issue you’re seeing is caused by a conflict between the new viewport-based style and the old mobile view. It looks like the Viewport based mobile mode site setting is currently disabled in your admin.

To fix this, simply enable the setting under your site settings. This should resolve the layout conflict.

I didn’t ask for support via PM, I asked to send you the URL and login info as one of the sites is non public and requires login to view.

Thanks though

I’ll give this a try. Hopefully this does not re-introduce the error I reported back in October
