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. Back button is almost instant whereas swipe back goes to white page before showing previous page. A d…

I’ve noticed the back swipe lag too. And when dialogs eg Change Timestamp are shown on iPhone, the cursor doesn’t correspond to the tap location on the dialog making it almost impossible to use.
