Scroll Bar Jumps when Searching

Captain_Ed reports an issue with the search function on iOS, where the topic scroller jumps to halfway through the topic and continues scrolling to the top upon typing in the search bar. This issue occurs on both Safari and Chrome, using iPad devices, but not on PCs. It has been observed on Discourse Meta and the Infinite Flight Community.

The issue is worse when using private browsing and is accompanied by images illustrating the problem.

This is worse when using private browsing. It occurs using Safari or Chrome, using both an iPad Mini (1st gen) and iPad Air 2. This does not happen using a PC. It happens both on Discourse Meta and the Infinite Flight Community (two I’ve tested this on).

This is a duplicate of the other iPad report @erlend_sh made.
