Small iPhone landscape Find in page highlight less prone to showing in viewport
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As an iPhone 5c user who sometimes uses Find in Page in the Wikipedia for iOS beta app while in landscape mode, when a Find in Page search or up/down action identifies an on-page match, I would like to see that result in the (limited) viewport if technically possible, so that I have a quick context of the match without having to use the X close button.

Event Timeline

Testing criteria:

  • Load the app on an iPhone 4s
  • Load an article
  • Rotate the device to landscape
  • Tap find-in-page icon to search the article
  • Ensure highlighted search terms can actually be seen onscreen (the space above the keyboard on iPhone 4s is small)
  • See the PR here for animations.

Unfortunately I don't have a 4s testing device, but the gifs presented in the comment above look good.

Tested on an iPhone 7+ with iOS 10.3 and an iPhone 5s with iOS 10.2 on Beta App 5.5.0 (1138)

Works fine on the iPhone 7+.

On the iPhone 5s, which is rather small, I noticed that when searching for very common words the results tend to appear below the keyboard once the user has scrolled (using the arrows) for a while.

Example:

  1. Loaded the article for Apatosaurus
  2. Placed the device in landscape mode
  3. Searched-on-page for the word "age"
  4. After 4 to 5 taps on the down arrow, the results appear below the keyboard.

@Mhurd Let me know if I should move this one on the workboard. I also do not have an iPhone 4. The smallest I have is an iPhone 5s. I can see if TSG has any.

Hello, I also do not have any iPhone 4's. I left Andy a message asking if he can help me to get any later - today he had another commitment.

Andy got back to me. TSG returned the iPhone 4s about a year ago to Wikimedia so we don't have any testable device.

Tested on iPhone 7+ with iOS 10.3.2, iPhone 5s with iOS 10.2, and iPad Mini 2 Retina on 10.2.1 on App version 5.5.0 (1149)

Fixed!
