Safari for iPad cursor and autoscroll conflicts with comment browser in v3 #74

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If you're trying to build v3 to be compatible with Safari on iPad, then look 
into the unstable cursor behavior when typing in the comment browser. The two 
screenshots taken by my friend Dave illustrate what he calls the "autoscroll 
problem," where the cursor jumps to places where you do not expect.

SVN build

Eddie, I asked my friend Dave to check iPad again on a digress.it v3 hosted 
site (http://deschoolingsociety.digress.it/). He says it's still a problem. 
Here's his detailed notes:

"I was looking at the deschoolingsociety page
It doesn't seem any better to me. It still has some strange scrolling behavior.
Whenever I click a paragraph to comment the whole page scrolls way down. I then 
have to scroll way back up to see the paragraph and commenting box.

The first few paragraphs work ok but for example:
In the section "Why we must Disestablish School"
Scroll so paragraph 10 is at the top and click it to comment. The text then 
refreshes with paragraph 24 at the top. I need to scroll back up to see the 
comment box. If is scroll just a little the box will appear at the current 
position but now it is at paragraph 24 or so when I wanted to comment on 
paragraph 10. I need to manually scroll back up if I want to see the paragraph 
I am commenting on.

When I do get back to the commenting box and click on the text fields to 
comment it will scroll a bit - probably just because the keyboard comes up and 
moves the text on the page. This now shows my cursor being below where it 
actually clicked. If I start typing it does enter the text in the correct place 
but it starts a few rows too low in the comments section for typing in the name 
section."

Eddie -- Let me know if you need more info, or new screenshots (or a 
screencast) to demonstrate the problem. Thanks for looking into it.  -Jack

I don't have access to an ipad, so this is tricky to test. I am looking for 
programs to help check iOS compatibility... I am not familiar with any. Let me 
know if you know of any.

A video of it would help a bit. Not sure if that's too complicated to get.

Since I don't know of any way to natively capture a screencast on an iPad, I 
shot this quick video footage and uploaded it to YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Kndcg4JH0

It demonstrates at least two issues with the current digress.it v3 on the iPad:

1) Clicking a Table of Contents entry highlights it, but does not automatically 
go to the correct URL. The user needs to press for a longer period of time.

2) The auto-scroll problem (already described above): If you click on a 
paragraph to write a comment, the whole page scrolls way down, and the user 
cannot see the correct paragraph alongside the floating comment box.

Let me know if you need more info. I realize that this may be challenging to 
resolve in v 3.0, but it's clear that iPads (and other tablets) are fast 
becoming a preferred reading platform for many users.

i went to the apple store and tested out digress.it on the ipad. after I saw 
how it looked i realized that i needed to get it to work at least a bit better 
before I announce it. so the latest version on the SVN has preliminary support 
for the ipad - for one, the commentbox now scrolls.

Eddie, thanks very much for working on the iOS issue. I am following your code 
revisions on the SVN and am looking forward to testing them on an iPad soon.
