cc @SergioEstevao (I believe this was reported before but I couldn't find the issue/thread — and if my memory is not failing it was in a small screen device).

Edit: found it.

I sporadically see this on iPhone 14 Pro as well:

@SergioEstevao I wonder if this bug may be related to this change: https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/commit/b7a14a6b5b537eb33f100bee4c4617c2cb72d873

When the UI is displayed correctly, then the x inset value is -16:

When the UI is incorrect, the x inset value is 0:

Thanks @rviljoen ! I'm having a look into this today. Should have a Pr out with a fix later today.

Hi @SergioEstevao - I tested the code change in https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/pull/1943 and can still reproduce the issue. I can now replicate it consistently by scrolling up/down/left/right quickly, and periodically releasing touch. The left margin disappears upon releasing touch after the rapid scrolls and returns as soon as you touch the screen again (PS - I also saw this behaviour under normal scrolling, but with rapid scrolling I was able to consistently reproduce it, which may be useful for you to find the bug).

Thanks for testing it @rviljoen ! I will give it another look.

I'm glad this is being looked at—it's been bugging me since the podcast grid update. The issue is most noticeable when there are more rows than can fit on the screen and happens in both 4-column and 3-column grid sizes.

If I start with the grid at the bottom (so the Search box is visible), I just scroll up slightly and the grid will shift left. Here's my repro on an iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17.6, and Pocket Casts 7.68:

@bikrrr This was fixed in the latest beta and should make it into the 7.69 public release 👌🏻

@azollafox This was fixed via https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/pull/1943 and released in v7.69.
