ive just got out my iphone 8 ios 16, and im not getting this bug? can u do a screen record and share the bug please?

edit: ok i can replicate it IF i type say ps aux then enter, then do ps aux again but then press backspace to only type ps but would be nice to see if ur having the same bug as me

[tschettervictor]

It doesn’t happen when you are in full screen mode. It only happens if you open the SSH connection, but don’t go into full screen mode.

[tschettervictor]

This issue has come up again. It is happing on full screen as well as no full screen mode.

version 1.1.30

[si458]

@tschettervictor what browser/hand held device and remote device?

[tschettervictor]

iPhone 13. iOS 18

remote device is a TrueNAS CORE server. Local device group.

[si458]

why dont people use old OS or old iphones, then i can use my real hardware, haha right... stupid emulator testing it is, leave it with me 👍

[tschettervictor]

Try it in and old device, might be same issue pops up.

[si458]

ok the simulator has the same issues (and some more issues) will need time to try and fix this. i cant install xcode 16 on my macbook pro, so i have to use my m1 but ive run out of space 👎 and i have to remote control the mac mini too, so leave it with me

[tschettervictor]

Any progress? It’s still present in the new .33 version. I want to switch to using meshcentral as my main access instead of guacamole but this issue is holding me back.

[si458]

Sadly not, but we do have a new beta bootstrap version u could test on ur mobile! Maybe see if its fixed there, you just add ?sitestyle=3 to the url :) BTW we are aware the is bugs in the new beta ui, so do report them haha

[tschettervictor]

Cool. The bug is not present in the new UI looks like.
