Awful app for iOS: hold longer

I just got an iPhone 11 and it�s my first big iPhone. I can�t reach the top left any longer with my thumb. How tough would it be to implement swipe left to go back to the thread list?

I noticed that threads won�t load up if I reduce animation and transition animations on my promax iOS 13

Ok this is dumb but weird.

Why is the icon a different color? The top picture is from the parent forum view and the bottom is from my bookmarks.

I guess it�s a bug? :shrug:

Updated to iOS 13. Adding more than one image when uploading to Imgur via the app crashes it every time.

Yes it does.

13.1 just released today, worth a try in case it's an iOS thing.

I�d just use the shortcut :shrug:

The in app stuff works but I�ve found the shortcut to be more consistent.

I would never have considered this possibility for why my app is broken. So that�s what it is.

Yeah, I was able to leave Reduce Motion on for my 6S, but Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions had to go.

Animations are crucial to the Awful App Experience.

I�ll try hooking the app to a debugger and doing some of these things soon, hopefully they�re quick fixes.

Is it weird that I like the new iOS 13 way of doing the new post view? Looks nice.

Also , I�ve tried to fix some of these but there are still a few problems to investigate if Awful is set to a light theme but the OS is set to a dark theme.

Ok weird �bug� and probably related to the new Apple keyboard vs the app itself. If you have the automatic dark mode set and you start in light mode but it switches to dark the keyboard stays light and stops working till you click off it and load the correct dark mode keyboard.

You just have to click in the text box and it loads the right keyboard.

Presenting view controllers don't respond to touches while their presented view controllers are even partially visible, so it's not really possible to do that.

Downloaded the new update, and the app icon with an alternate icon is being weird.

Other apps with alternate icons don�t seem to do this?

(It switches back to the original icon momentarily before changing to the one I picked.)

That�s really weird because it works just fine for apps like 1Password. Not that I don�t believe you just that it�s weird that it only affects some apps it seems.

For the record everyone of you are seeing this with Awful?

I'm not seeing it. I tried switching to a weird icon and it appears to stay there while the app zooms in.

I'm not sure if this is new behavior or not (just updated both Awful to v3.63 and iOS to v13.1, on an iPhone 8+), but it seems like space-initial long lines in [code] blocks are breaking frames and making the whole page of the thread have a horizontal scrollbar, as in this block:

code:

this is a long wrapped line 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 since it doesn't begin with a space, and the wrapping can even insert linebreaks between characters in a single word (including within the digits "word" above)

On my screen the last part of the above line actually gets broken such the last screenline starts with " word" and the rest of the line no longer gets wrapped!
  :O

 This line intentionally/actually starts with one space and just break the frame for the whole page currently, with no wrapping

Frankly I prefer the non-wrapping behavior within code blocks, but I'd prefer EVEN MORE* if the non-wrapped wide code blocks had their own horizontal scrollbars. The horizontal scrollbars also mean I can't swipe from the left edge to go back (unless I zoom all the way out).
_{*FEATURE REQUEST and/or BUG REPORT}

Here's a screenshot of a preview of an older version of this post that demonstrates how these issues are showing up for me:

GenericGirlName: Apr 10, 2012; Why did you post that?

I'm on the same version of everything, on an 11 pro Max and that also table breaks on my phone.

Follow up: my long line above seems to cause some problems since zooming out to the max isn't enough to see the whole line, meaning horizontal scrollbars are present at all zoom levels, so swiping back just doesn't work at all.

Relatedly: when you zoom way out and tap on a user's name or a post's "��" button to display the modal panel, it is drawn significantly below the location tapped, with greater overshooting when the tap target is further down on your screen. So if your tap target is about halfway down the screen or below (including if you're tapping the "��" button of the last post in the thread), the modal panel will try to draw at least partially offscreen, which appears to mean the modal panel instead just doesn't get drawn! This appears to freeze the thread (graying out e.g. the bottom buttons) and causes swiping-to-scroll to be ignored entirely; you just need to tap outside the offscreen modal, i.e. anywhere, to dismiss it and functionality. Then zoom back in probably to be able to do stuff again.

In the last day or so I noticed that swiping left with the Pencil on my iPad Pro won't slide the side panel out (bookmarks, settings, etc...). Works fine with my finger or a non-Pencil stylus.

For some reason my bookmarks tab will stop letting me click threads sometimes. I have to close the app and restart it. Going to a forum works fine, scrolling works fine, but my bookmarks don�t work.

Minor bug on iPad Pro 11:

If the app isn't opened for a while and you open it, it opens up to the thread you left on, although it's all marked read and it lost your spot. That's not a big deal. The bug is that the scroll indicator seems to be absent in that scenario, making it impossible to see how far you have left on the page. It comes back when you advance a page or go to a different thread. I didn't think to try refreshing the page.
