Didn’t realize that was a big bug. I’ve noticed that if I drag up from the bottom of the screen a little, like I’m pulling up the list of running apps, but then drag back down without actually opening the list; just enough that the app STARTS to shrink, but before the apps display; it unfreezes.
That's not necessary - just stop interacting with the device for approximately one second and it will "unfreeze"
I don’t want to have to keep doing that.
You don't need to do that. Just stop interacting for a second and it will "unfreeze"
Just so we’re clear here, is this the official stance? You have no plans to resolve this and we’re just supposed to put up with it?
I would love to fix this, but it's a browser bug. Feel free to complain here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222654
Alright, thanks for all your hard work. I’ll be switching to something else that doesn’t rely on broken tools then until Apple resolves it, I suppose.
I know I’m being downvoted for seeming entitled or whatever, but as an end user, broken is broken. I get that it’s not your fault and I’ve never once complained that it was but why would you move forward with this project if such a massive problem affects such a large portion of your potential users? Clearly it’s your right to do so, but as someone who actively wants to keep using Voyager and just can’t justify it, I really don’t get it.
Good luck with your project. Sincerely.
For the record, I love Voyager and don't understand why you're being downvoted either. Even if it's not the dev's fault, something that ruins the usability of the app shouldn't just be ok for them to ignore and not try to work around. You have a perfectly valid criticism.
It's dependent on Apple fixing it, so no:
Given that the bug was raised well over two years ago, it does not seem likely that Apple will fix it anytime soon.
Maybe it is one of the reasons that the Voyager developers are working on a native IOS version?
This conversation reminds me of my favorite Firefox bug/request https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790
It only took 18 years to be addressed and closed. Hopefully this scrolling bug in WebKit fares better.
