Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • View the layout

What happens?:
The page layout is off on the tablet display

What should have happened instead?:
The layout should fit well on a tablet display

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

@JTannerWMF - @Tsevener asked me to write this up; however, it may not be fixable on the app side.

Event Timeline

Here's an example URL that we're showing in our in-app web view:

https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?appeal=JimmyQuote&country=US&title=Special:LandingPage&uselang=it&utm_campaign=iOS&utm_medium=WikipediaApp&utm_source=app_2023_enNL_iOS_control

I notice that the same bug occurs in the Safari app on iPad, so I think it may have to be fixed on the web side. Notably, rotating to landscape, then back to portrait, fixes it on Safari, but does not fix it in our in-app web view.
