A user, aaronpk, reports a bug in their forum after upgrading to 3.2.0.beta4-dev, where text and menus overlap on an Android device running Chrome. The issue, which also made the “Log In” button invisible, was not reproducible on other devices. The user suspects cached CSS, as the problem resolved itself after the user cleared their browser cache. pfaffman suggests using safe mode to diagnose such issues, noting it doesn’t require taking the site down. aaronpk acknowledges the suggestion and decides to close the thread since the issue has resolved.
I just upgraded a forum to 3.2.0.beta4-dev, and have been getting some strange bug reports from users. The most puzzling one is this screenshot illustrating overlapping text and menus on her phone. This is an Android device running Chrome.
The “Log In” button on the top bar isn’t visible for her either.
Other changes I made after the upgrade include moving all assets to be served from a CloudFront CDN. So I’m confused why it would be possible for this browser to have cached old CSS.
I have not been able to reproduce this glitch on my computer, iPhone or on a Fire TV tablet. I don’t have a regular Android device to test with.
I’ve already asked her to clear her browser cache and that didn’t solve it either. Any suggestsions?
You don’t need to take anything down or make any changes to use safe mode. Check the link to see how it work. It’s a very useful way to diagnose issues like these.
