Hello!
We have a long time user (we’ve been self hosted on Discourse for 11 years (!) now, so a heartfelt thank you to the team btw
) that can’t create new topics on their Safari mobile browser on iOS anymore.
To them it looks like this, with the issue being a crushed text editor area:
I asked them to use try.discourse.org to recreate this, which is where that screenshots in this topic are from.
They can reply to topics ok, as can be seen here:
Environment info (please ask for more if I missed anything):
Client user agent (from our DB):
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 18_7 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/26.5 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1
The user says it’s an iPhone 16 Pro at iOS 26.5 (latest updates for them).
Our discourse version is (plus can be recreated on try.discourse.org as of today) is:
2026.6.0-latest (9ba9bc6c55)
The user also tried it on a clean Horizon theme (no component add-ins from our side) and can recreate as well.
They’ve tried open/reopen the keyboard tick and can’t get by this issue.
I have access to an iPhone 16e and 26.5 and I can not recreate this with Safari on latest updates on our forum, so perhaps something about that user’s setup or setting on their iOS? ![]()
Thanks anyone for any help or suggestions, or to the team if they can recreate this.
