Looks like a mobile-html issue, so tagging Content Transform Team

Mobile html output looks OK:

Footer is loaded dynamically on the client side so maybe its something we should debug at the app level.

seems like it can happen on any article. and basically always fixed with a swipe down refresh. I assume it's related to unreliable Internet.

e.g. on subway have network in station but not between stations. maybe requests usually resolve in the same order as fired but network can make that less predictable.

Can confirm this is still happening with 2.7.50501-r-2024-09-12

Bug happened when started searching in a page not completely loaded.
