What it looked like when I first looked at it. Swapped it to the other option and now it seems like it works.

I'm guessing the one that doesn't work is a replacement that lineageos uses in order to not rely on Google's stuff.

Thanks for looking! Yeah, unfortunately there may not be much to do other than hope an update gets Lineage's version to play nice with Awful.

Can confirm, my LineageOS is fully un-Googled so I only have the bottom webview available.

I will look into installing an alternative WebView such as Bromite and report if it works better.

Edit: Bromite Webview doesn't have the problem! After looking at the available methods, I used this to install it. Much faster than Magisk et al., only required rooted USB debugging.

This is a great idea and I think it's beyond my skills to implement right now, just FYI. Hopefully someone has a clearer picture of Android architecture and can make this reality.

Edit: vvvvvvvvv I'll look into it later this week! Trick is if I can emulate it

- spoiler text can't be revealed without highlighting
- 3 dots in top right of a post can't be clicked on

Uninstalled android system webview, reinstalled, closed and reopened awful app and everything working fine now.

It's likely Twitter messing around with their embed code. If you have an example page I'm happy to take a look, but I probably won't be able to fix it or even reproduce it because historically the issue is on Twitter's end. [Edit: good news is Twitter does eventually fix the issue most of the time.]

I'm pretty sure I've seen the issue pop up on my iPad Mini as well, so it likely has nothing to do with the app and more likely twitter being twitter.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I wasn't able to replicate this on an emulator. Glad the device change made a difference! I'm sure everyone with issues has already tried this, but I'd try dismissing the Awful app and rebooting the device entirely to make sure the app is using the most recent WebView implementation.

Rand Brittain posted:

Any idea if your device had a WebView update recently? Are you able to enable developer options to see what is your WebView implementation is? On stock Android it should show up under Developer Options > WebView implementation.

If you access SA using a browser, are there any slowdowns or is there any indication that Cloudflare is throwing up a delay or a challenge for the device? Problems happening both on data and WiFi make it super unlikely but thought I'd ask.

edit: btw I'm sorry my troubleshooting isn't super helpful, I just haven't been able to get any of these issues to actually show up using virtual Android 13 devices :(

I checked it and WebView hasn't updated since September 20. (v106.0.5249.79)

I did just install a LineageOS update, which may imply that the issue is something changing on that end.

There's no slowdown on browser (Chrome). And honestly it's fine right now so who knows.

Looking this over, I just noticed that Developer Options shows that the system is using WebView 106, while the version of WebView installed via the Play Store is 105. The 105 version isn't an option for me in the Dev Options menu.

Is it possible that the trouble arises whenever someone is using WebView 106, but that this isn't always obvious because the system insists on using the later version if that's what it came bundled with, even if another version is installed via the Play Store?

I have a similar setup and was having the same issue, however the play store version just updated to 106 which is now a selectable option again in developer options and I can once again reveal spoilers and tap the three dot menu.

...same!

So it seems like the issue may not be "LineageOS" but "any distribution of Android with bundled WebView with a higher version number than the one available in the Play Store."

You mess with the crabbo...



Just a heads up that I've been noticing some weird behavior with forums search in the app lately. It seems to work fine in some threads, but in others it gives me zero results when I know there should be some matches (and have confirmed this using the forum's browser interface).

Specific example: searching this thread for "principle" returns nothing in the app, but using the same "threadid:3745614 principle" search in a browser gives me a page of results. I thought at first there might be a date issue since they're posts from last year or earlier, but I've replicated it in other threads with posts from this month.

If you're having issues, I think all of these should be affected simultaneously:
  • No three-dot menu
  • Can't expand poster information/avatar
  • Can't enlarge [timg]s
  • Quoting won't work
  • Spoilers won't be revealed on tap
  • Long press on images doesn't work
If you're not experiencing all of these issues at the same time, please let me know!
