The new format has not corrected the ongoing problem I have with writing replies. When I am entering a reply on my iPad the text box slides up under the formatting band so that I cannot see what I am writing or can see only the bottom edge of the line I’m typing. I can pull the text down to read it, but as soon as I begin typing it slides back up. This is extremely annoying. I think I’ve seen a couple of other complaints about this, so I don’t think it is an anomaly peculiar to my device.
This is still happening on my iPad Pro, running safari and using the full FT website, not the mobile version. I've also disabled infinite scroll, from the beginning when it was first introduced, so I don't think it's related to the problem.
For me, it started with the last update and sometimes does not happen, but if anything it's worse with this update.
Here are a couple other random problems:
On my desktop PC using google chrome, today the "news" button is showing in the old style.
On multipage threads, the page numbers at the top and bottom of each page look almost the same for the bolded number (current page) versus all the other numbers. You cannot easily see what page you're reading, although I guess you could calculate the number of the current page from the number of the post you see at the top or bottom of the page.
