Discourse issues in Safari on iOS 26?

Does anybody else have troubles in the editor?

When writing a post, the cursor (the vertical line in the following screenshot) often appears some way below the place where the text gets actually inserted:

In many cases there is an offset between where everything is displayed and where the tap locations actually are, i.e., nothing happens when you tap where a button is displayed.

When using the Discourse app instead, the toolbar that should be at the bottom of the screen often seems to detach and then appears as a grey featureless overlay in the middle of the screen.

Am I the only one or does Discourse have to make some updates?

Discourse has to make some updates.

You can get around this in the meantime by using your right thumb along the very right edge to scroll the form down to where it is supposed to be.

Thanks. I’ve been trying this but failed most of the time. I rarely use the scroll thumb because the phone case gets in the way, but now that I know, it helps.

Just FYI: Apple seems to have accepted a bug report and resolved it, so hopefully will be fixed in the next iOS update:

Thanks. It’s been this way since Developer beta 1 FWIW :slight_smile:

Yeah, apparently a bug in how Safari on iOS measures websites for overlaying stuff like keyboards, which affects many sites and apparently it’s impossible to work around for the sites. Seems like everyone expected Apple to fix it, but they didn’t before release. Mindboggling. It works fine on iPadOS, too.

Sounds familiar :face_with_peeking_eye::face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I checked out Chrome and that’s got similar issues.

I am using the Brave browser and it seems better.

This is fixed in iOS 26.1 developer beta 1, FWIW.

The downside is that the top navigation underlies the clock and OS status:

:face_vomiting: but better than being unusable
But this looks like the Discourse app, right? What about Safari?

Seems largely (but not completely) fixed for me in 26.0.1 both in Safari and the Discourse app, and I don’t have the top navigation underlying the clock and OS status.

Good sign. Thanks. Let’s hope Apple’s branching and merging work well :slight_smile:

Huh, now it’s worse again. It worked quite well when I tried to edit a few posts before declaring success, and now it sucks again.

Testing

I am unable to use the editor properly, so I will have to edit on this PC as so can’t see what I’m typing. This also goes for pressing the reply button on Firefox browser on iOS.

Seems images won’t upload either. It’s a mess.

On iOS, all browsers use WebKit for rendering and this is a WebKit bug, so I guess Firefox will have issues, too. (Chrome does).

Safari has the floating search box now, which seems to contribute to the misalignment, closing it helps a bit

It also helps to scroll the page with the scroll thumb to align the cursor with the text, but yeah it’s a hassle.

„Luckily“ I see similar issues on many pages, so hopefully Apple will get their act together. It’s unbelievable that they released it like this.

Images upload fine for me.

Still not fixed on 26.1. What the hell is going on at Apple?

18

Yep, it sure is frustrating.

Use Brave, no issues here.

I guess I have to but it’s a matter of principle. And I prefer Safari. This bug affects countless pages on the internet, not just Discourse, Apple are losing it.
