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.

iOS 11.1 was released today, and the issue is still present. Personally I think a dedicated login page would be ideal, but I’m happy to help implement either approach.

Sure we can try it out, looks like it should work — ultimately from a user’s perspective they’re no longer modals at that point. Would it be significantly more work to make those modals separate pages on mobile?
