Trouble viewing very long reference
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

From OTRS - https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=11244898

In the mobile Wikipedia app on Android, if a reference (especially a note) is too long, you cannot view the whole contents of it. The app only lets me scroll as high as the screen, and then I cannot scroll anymore. I have attached a screenshot of one example where I cannot scroll down any further, so I cannot see the rest of the reference. This reference can be located on the Wikipedia article for the Vietnam War - tap on the first label for "[A 1]", then scroll down until the box fills the height of the screen and it doesn't let you scroll anymore. I would appreciate it if this bug could be fixed. Thank you!

Steps -

  1. Navigate to the article (Vietnam War)
  2. Tap the [A1] reference in the first paragraph of the article
  3. Scroll up on the reference

Expected -
User can scroll to the bottom of the reference

Actual -
User can scroll to the height of the viewable area

Note - I was unable to find similarly lengthed references, they are not common.
