@Esanders this sounds related to all those other bugs we've had. Is this a task i should merge this into?

(helps all users but tagging AMC so we have an opportunity to pick this up if we are working on related things)

Hey @Esanders I will put this in needs discussion and let you decide next steps for our team with this.

all those other bugs we've had.

Not sure which ones you are referring to? I don't think anything we've changed anything that affects the MF editor.

Not sure which ones you are referring to? I don't think anything we've changed anything that affects the MF editor.

I was talking on a more general note.
We've had various problems with iOS scrolling and I remembered we removed some iOS specific browser sniffing recently for newer versions (T149363, T129360) and I was wondering if this is a variation of one of the many open or closed existing bugs or a regression from previous closed bugs. Looking through those search results I can't see any overlap, but wonder if there might be something that's not being discovered in that search.

I am sure this relates to code in Overlay.js (the setupEmulatedIosOverlayScrolling and _fixIosHeader function)
Provided you can replicate, I'd suggest disabling that and seeing if the problem goes away.

This code was written specifically for the editor (and generalised) so you should be empowered to remove it/update it as you please. I'd be open to removing it altogether and then fixing issues with older browsers as we discover them if you are open to that approach. Nobody really understands this code anymore so maybe it's time to start again and make sure we're working for the more widely used and modern browsers.

@matmarex - When is it due to go live?

The change is part of MW 1.33.0-wmf.21, which is being deployed to Wikimedia wikis this week, 12-14 March, as described here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.33/Roadmap#21.

Same bug happens on regular iPhone.

Kaldari - See T21759 and other merged tasks.

@matmarex - This bug prevents me from being able to save an edit while on my phone (unless I either switch to VE or don't put an edit summary). English Wikipedia has already been updated to 1.33.0-wmf.21 and I cleared my browser cache on my phone, but it's still broken. Either the JS/CSS is still cached on the server side or that patch didn't fix the problem.

I'm using an iPhone SE with iOS 12.1 and mobile Safari.

@RhinosF1 - I think you linked to the wrong bug. Did you mean T218062 or T218069, maybe?

Kaldari - T217259
See the mentioned in section

Screenshot of bug on my iPhone. Can't scroll up from this position.

Note that this happens any time I try to enter an edit summary.

@kaldari - Workaround is to pinch to zoom out repeatedly until it comes in view.

@RhinosF1 - Thanks, pinching works to get around the problem!

I confirmed that this bug occurs regardless of whether I am logged in or not (so not due to any personal CSS or JS).

Rummana was able to reproduce, but says that my bug is a different bug than this one. I'll file separately.

@kaldari My patch fixed this issue in the editor. But the issue you experienced is in the summary/preview panel, and I did not realize that was also affected (and apparently never tested what happens after clicking "Save"). Thanks for filing a separate task.

edit: moved this comment to T218352#5027008

This should be fixed now. Can someone confirm?

@Jdlrobson - Seems to be fixed 99% of the time but with persistance I can zoom in/out enough I get:

@AxelBoldt - Still possible to reproduce it

@RhinosF1 - It's not quite clear to me what you are seeing with persistence and zooming. Is it the exact bug described here, i.e.: the wiki text inside the editing area cannot be scrolled further up just after you've started an edit session and the virtual keyboard has appeared?

Or are you seeing something akin to what @kaldari has described above, namely: you can't scroll up to reveal the Save button when trying to submit your article edits?

The latter issue is not what this bug is about.

T217259 @AlexBoldt

Hello @RhinosF1, I don't fully understand your reply. My question is this: can you still reproduce this bug (the wiki text inside the editing area cannot be scrolled further up just after an edit session has been started and the virtual keyboard has appeared) on your iphone?

AlexBoldt - Please read the task I said was merged into this as I can still reproduce that behaviour that has videos of the issue but It may link more to @kaldari 's issue which confuses me as to why it was merged here.

I see. I think it's a mistake to have T217259 closed as a duplicate of this bug; they are separate issues. I have reopened it.
