LGoto moved this task from Needs Triage to Bug Backlog on the Wikipedia-iOS-App board.

I'm able to reproduce this, on app v7.0.1, iOS 16.1.2.

Part 1 PR: https://github.com/wikimedia/wikipedia-ios/pull/4436 (closed, will be replaced with a new PR)

Before making the changes in the PR there was an issue where some cells in the Explore page are cut off after clearing history, and this problem persists after the changes as well. I think it's a separate issue from loading the articles.

Steps for reproducing (consistently):

  • In the app, go to Settings > Explore Feed
  • Under "CUSTOMIZE THE EXPLORE FEED", disable all options except "Top read"
  • Go back to the Explore page
  • Open at least one article to fill the history
  • Scroll down the explore page a bit, then scroll back up
  • Navigate to the history tab, press "Clear", then confirm to delete
  • Navigate back to the Explore page
  • Scroll down a bit, and there should be a cell that is cut short
