Hello, long time reader, first time poster. I’ve noticed iOS 11has managed to make Discourse a bit screwy in two ways. A) press the back button in Safari has a different behaviour to swiping back.

Hmm … I have no idea where iOS is putting the cursor. After I click “email” and keyboard shows up, I can not see the cursor, start typing and suddenly the cursor appears again. I may be able to trigger one extra focus event to work around this, not sure. I don’t notice this when moving between fi…

The backswipe lag is still killing me :frowning: Is there anything that can be done on our side to mitigate it? I’m also finding text cursor positioning issues. Am using the Discourse app, iPhone X.

Oh I never use backswipe, that is why I don’t notice it

iPhone SE has random but regular cursor or tap positioning issues. I have not found out what triggers them, but happens on daily basis. Somewhat annoying, especially for a moderator or admin. If you guys have a test engineer on payroll, it might be and idea to perform thorough exploratory testing u…
