Browser issue Page scrolls to bottom when using left right arrows in landscape mode - iPhone 6s / 6s Plus

[Joe Link]

Members have been reporting this. I just verified that it happens here too with the iPhone 6s Plus. I haven't checked to see if this is an issue with Android as well.

To duplicate the issue:

1. Turn phone to switch to landscape orientation.
2. Type a message in the text editor.
3. Tap the left or right arrow to position the cursor.

The page will scroll to the bottom.

in Chrome ? in Safari ?

The page will scroll to the bottom.

Isn't the text editor at the bottom of the page by definition ?

I've only tested using Safari.

The text editor is near the bottom, but the page scrolls all the way down.

I get this also with my iPhone 6+

However using it in landscape is s bit awkward for replying due to narrow space available once the keyboard is visible so it isn't something I would normally do

This is apparently a bug which affects any type of editor that uses an iframe to initialise. It also affects TinyMCE and similar editors. It actually affects Froala (the new editor in XF2) too but only if that runs in an iframe which thankfully we don't do in XF2.

There appears to be related bug reports with Apple so it's just a case of waiting for that to be fixed, unfortunately, as there is no known workarounds.
