Can’t scroll forum rightaway when chat is open, and vice versa

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

In a bug report titled ‘Can’t scroll forum rightaway when chat is open, and vice versa,’ Jagster describes an issue introduced after upgrading to Discourse 2.9.0beta7: when the chat window is open, swiping to scroll the forum doesn’t work unless the user first taps the forum area to shift focus. Jagster suspects this is a focus-related issue and suggests that scrolling should respond only to the window being touched. j.jaffeux clarifies that the version mentioned refers to Discourse core, not the chat plugin, and asks for the specific commit of discourse-chat. Jagster later shares a commit hash but corrects that it’s for Discourse, not the chat plugin, and admits not knowing how to find the chat plugin’s version. j.jaffeux directs Jagster to the discourse-chat GitHub repo and explains the version depends on when the core was updated. Jagster confirms the update was about 18 hours ago and that the chat plugin was installed then. j.jaffeux replies that they’ll reconsider the behavior but for now, the current state must remain. Jagster concludes that while the issue is slightly annoying, it’s not major and thanks the team. The issue appears to be a usability quirk rather than a critical bug, tied to touch interaction and focus handling on mobile devices like the iPad.

After 2.9.0beta7 ugrade scrolling forum itself is impossible if chat is open. Same thing happends here. I’m using Hub and iPad.

I don’t know if this can be counted as a bug, but I’m quite sure it worked just fine earlier.

  • open chat
  • try to scroll forum outside chat-winwod
  • only chat window is restless

It is issue of focus, I reckon. Because if I tap first forum side and start scrolling after that it works just fine. But tap/swiping is less intuitive than just swiping :wink:

So — if it is even possible, but could scrolling using up/down swipe happend only in that window/modal/popup/what-ever where a finger touches screen?

Do you know which commit of discourse-chat you have ? 2.9.0beta7 doesn’t tell us much, this is the version of discourse core, not the version of discourse chat.

Oh, I see.

Does this help more?

Edit: chat, not discourse…

How do I find it?

If you just had installed it it should be the last commit. It depends on when you did the core update.

About 18 hours ago and yes, I did.

I will reconsider this but for now we will have to keep it in this state. Sorry.
