Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

Small thing: The new update (I literally just downloaded it a few minutes ago) makes it take a lot longer to save a picture in the app. Before, I’d press on an image and it would pop up and give me the option to save or copy or whatever within a second at most. Now, I have to hold the press for a good 3-5 seconds before the image will be selected.

Current iOS (17.3.1), SE3, if any of that matters.

Yeah there's something weird about long-press and the gesture handlers now, maybe an interaction with VisionKit? (There's a console error message about VisionKit at least!)

I'm going to try to spend some time to debug it during my next Awful-hacking session, but I don't know if I'll make much progress; UIKit is not an area of strength for me.

Not a bug. That’s just how iOS’s default context menus work. The order depends on the menu’s position on screen, such that the “first” item is always closest to where you tapped.

Crap I keep meaning to fix that. It’s just so annoying to test multiple themes because I have to back out to the settings, switch, go back into the thread, find the right post to verify, etc. I will do it, though, just for you.

I was sure that this crazy behaviour was a bug I introduced with the change to update add/remove bookmark in the thread menu, somehow, but no…some Apple genius wants it that way

I understand completely, so no worries. just knowing that it’s on the list of known issues is well enough

No, it stayed on through the update and turning it off and back on didn't help.

Still works for me, but I’ve found you have to scroll a hair to get it to work. For example:

On that post from further up the page, I had to scroll down a bit so the name and top of the post wasn’t visible, then the double tap let me jump to the bottom.

It's nice having them back. I made these 3 new icons in August last year - can somebody plop em in?

Other beta issues I've seen:

• In SpankyKong OLED Dark / Light the Settings icon has the word Settings under it, while the other nav icons are correctly icon only (no text)

• blue e: icon in top left of quoted posts is still absent.

• I think the Report button / icon on posts is supposed to be red - similar to how Remove Bookmark looks.

• 'Set color' on bookmarks doesn't stay set on refresh. Should maybe be 'Bookmark Color', or at least 'Set Color' (capital C)

If you long press a bookmark you can Set Color. Which is meant to change the color of the unread bookmark number (I think this could require enabling a setting in desktop SA?)

It temporarily changes the color when used, but when you refresh your bookmarks it’ll revert back to what you had previously.

Do you know if it changes the colour if you look on the web site?

Ooh, I've found something that'll help. It's color dependant. It's not that it's not working but some are actually selecting the wrong color.

The first 3 options, Orange, Red & Yellow actually work as they should.

The others all choose the color to the right of what you select, so grey -> blue, blue -> green, green -> purple and purple wraps around and makes it orange.

Ah there is a setting somewhere on the forum to enable more colours, or a change that rolled out recently-ish, or something. Astral, if you’re here, do you know what I’m trying to remember?

This weekend I’ll try to see if LLDB can survive the ordeal of setting a breakpoint in that stuff…

Is there something with the new TestFlight build that might’ve broken Twitter embeds for me? Not had an issue before today.

E: ah of course I should’ve checked settings first. The option got disabled.

Thanks, I had added that to my “to debug” list because I forgot that the settings got some work done recently and didn’t check mine.

The only relevant setting should be having colors enabled or not. There are 6 colors nowadays (2020) instead of 3.

Sounds like there might be an off-by-one on the app's mapping for the new colors?

So... this is a pretty minor thing but it's bugged me for years and I thought I'd finally bring it to your attention: after I've pressed the iPad/iPhone's home button, the current thread title is missing when I switch back to the app.

Is that an easy fix?

It has also bugged me for years but I haven’t figured out what part of the webview’s lifecycle we’re holding wrong or whatever. That doesn’t mean it’s not an easy fix to someone else though!
