And it's not just a display glitch: if I click save, the post is modified to contain only the quotation, deleting any text I've added.

This is using an up-to-date iPhone 6s (iOS 11.2.5) with up-to-date Safari; it's been an issue for maybe a month or two, so dating back at least a few point releases of iOS. It happens usually but not always when I (try to) edit a post.

(I don't have access to my phone to produce screenshots at the moment.)

Are you using the mobile or desktop skin? I tested with both, but when I was on the mobile skin, t did at first appear that I couldn't see my own text. I just had to scroll down.

You are on a mobile device, I take it. This is a known bug that happens when you zoom in on a mobile device -- the right banner ad moves into the content column and covers the posts. We hope to have that resolved in a future software patch, but no eta as yet.

Thank you for reporting this and for your patience.

Yep, sorry about that. If you use the mobile skin, this problem won't occur.

Mobile skin. I try scrolling down but there's no text further down. I also try switching to the source view (which I far prefer to the poor WYSIWYG editor); same issue there.

(Don't have access to my phone now so I can't test at the moment.)

Still not fixed. Jumps back a page or two when I’m reading a post. Veeeeerrrrry slow to load. Posts I type are still covered by the tool bar.

For God’s sake, people, what is it going to take to get this clusterfumble fixed!?

I'm still seeing the jumping back too. I've upgraded my iPhone 6 to latest iOS and this hasn't fixed it. It doesn't happen all the time but when it happens it's annoying. I've seen this behaviour both with and without an ad blocker running.

On the jumping, prevailing wisdom is that you may be using very slow connections and the ads are still loading. Wait for the page to fully load and you will not see the screen jump.

The tool bar covering your typing is an issue that has been reported, and acknowledged, and I will update the thread when it's fixed. There is no ETA on that fix at this time. Wish I had better news.

This wasn’t a problem before the November downgrade. I’m not having a problem on any other site.

prevailng wisdom is grasping at straws. I’m on a gigabit connection and the jumping occurs even a minute or two after the page loads. It’s intermittent so I can’t even get a video of it happening.

Have you tried turning off Infinite Scroll?

I have it turned off on desktop. Can I turn it off on mobile too? If so, I'll gladly try it.

The only way to not use IS on a phone or tablet is to use the full desktop site on mobile. If you use the mobile skin, you can't turn IS off.

Ah. I really don't want to use the full site in a small iPhone 6 so I'll just put up with occasional uncommanded scrolling. Hopefully the others who are experiencing this can give you some more feedback. Thanks for your help.
