A user, darkpixlz, reported an issue with the iOS bookmark feature on the Discourse platform, where the liked text flickers and the page jumps around. They shared a video demonstrating the issue and mentioned it’s not an iOS bug, but rather a problem with the platform. JammyDodger suggested the issue might be related to using iOS 17 beta, and darkpixlz confirmed they are using the beta version. However, they noted the issue only occurs on certain Discourse forums, such as this one, but not on others like try.discourse.org, twittercommunity.com, devforum.roblox.com, or forums.unrealengine.com, suggesting the problem might be specific to this platform or the iOS 17 beta.
Video should be self explanatory. The page is jumping around and flickering and the likes text is also flickering and jumping randomly.
I’m unable to verify if this is happening on any other sites at the moment, but it is not an iOS bug. It’s similar to when the header was flickering and the bottom bar was getting stuck, but I last experienced that a while in he stable branch. Reproduction for that is really hard and random so I’ll leave it out of this.
Any chance you’re using iOS 17 beta?
Yeah, I’m on iOS 17. Weird though, not happening in any other sites nor Discourse forums.
This is where I’d put the video I recorded of going to try.discourse.org and twittercommuntiy.com to show the bug not existing there, but it’s still very slightly flickering. Might be a bad beta 4?
Although on the flip side I’m not seeing it on sites like devforum.roblox.com or forums.unrealengine.com. I’m not sure what the difference between the sites are which is determining the impact here, but it seems like you’re probably right.
