I don’t know if it’s a place for this, but at some point it became impossible to open an article in new tab from Chrome on IPhone - clicking on article title from “all posts” just opens the article. Really ruins my LW reading experience. Couldn’t quickly find a way to send this feedback to a right place either, so I guess this is a quick take now.

In general, Intercom is the best place to send us feedback like this, though we're moderately likely to notice a top-level shortform comment.  Will look into it; sounds like it could very well be a bug.  Thanks for flagging it.

Thanks for the reply. I didnt find Intercom on mobile - maybe a bug as well?

This is a bug and we're looking into it. It appears to be specific to Safari on iOS (Chrome on iOS is a Safari skin); it doesn't affect desktop browsers, Android/Chrome, or Android/Firefox, which is why we didn't notice earlier. This most likely started with a change on desktop where clicking on a post (without modifiers) opens when you press the mouse button, rather than when you release it.

May I ask whether there is anything planned on fixing this rendering/loading bug [LW(p) · GW(p)] which occurs with Firefox? It affects unread/uncached posts opened in a background tab.

Ah, sorry that one went unfixed for as long as it did; a fix is now written and should be deployed pretty soon.

I can confirm the problem is fixed now. Thanks!
