This is a long-standing issue that occurs in the topic when you try to type something into a modal input field. It always jumps to the top of the page, which results in an infinite load until it reaches post 1. It’s still an issue with the Glimmer Post Stream.
It makes very difficult to move posts to another topic because the modal also jumps while loading, other write related process and it also causes problems with the new discourse reaction feature, which opens the emoji picker. When it opens, it automatically focuses on the emoji search input, which produces the same behavior. It jumps to the top of the page and closes the emoji picker… So it happens when the modal input field focused.
I’ve disabled the scroll to top here with a simple theme component for testing and it seems works fine now but I’m not sure what’s the reason for this code, so disabling or removing it is probably not the best solution.
Here is a video of me scrolling from the bottom to the top of a topic on here.
The video is compressed but the flickering like mad is how it looks when you scroll! And as you can see on some of the page loads it jumps all over the place
This is with the latest iOS 26
Am I alone in experiencing this?
(I know this is slightly off topic but it’s all part of the terrible UX I’ve been getting lately on mobile safari)
You might be right. My iPhone is on 26 and it hasn’t any described symptomps. But I’ve never seen such symptomps on my iPhone & iPad with any OS either.
So, I would blame device here, unless there is some more specific details that differs between yous and mine systems
