Lilly is experiencing an issue with the iOS desktop view on iPad, where the screen shakes at the bottom of topics after zooming in and out with the touchscreen. The issue is reproducible on both Meta and their own forum, but is harder to reproduce on Meta due to the related and suggested topics footers. Lilly notes that the shaking doesn’t occur when the navigation menu sidebar is in a collapsed state, suggesting a possible connection to the expanded menu.
awesomerobot mentions a recent fix that was applied to improve a similar issue, but it only affected short topics and may not be related to Lilly’s issue. Despite the fix, Lilly is still able to reproduce the issue on both Meta and their own site.
i’m getting this awful screen shake sometimes at the bottom of topics if i use touch screen zooming on my ipad in desktop view.
iOS Safari on 6th gen iPad.
repro:
go to a topic and scroll to bottom / last post
zoom in and out with touch-screen
screen video in safe mode:
i’ve repro’d on Meta but it’s harder to do i think because of the related and suggested topics footers (which i don’t ‘t use on my forum). note the navigation sidebar menu and header do not shake.
I think @awesomerobot had a recent fix to improve this.
for me, i noticed that the shaking doesn’t happen when i have the navigation menu sidebar in a collapsed state. so i wonder if it has to do with the expanded menu.
Hmm, the problem I fixed only affected short topics, so this might be something else… have you seen this on Meta recently @Lilly? the fix in question was applied here 4 days ago.
thanks for the reply. unfortunately i just repro’d on Meta right now and on my site. much harder to repro on Meta though because of the footer links.
