Rapid second scroll always missed

mikem1026

On most iOS apps I am used to being able to stop scrolling momentum by simply touching my thumb to the screen. However, in Orion, this doesn’t reliably stop scrolling and instead the page will keep moving.

Orion 1.4.0; iOS 18.6.2

Hi mikem1026, isocat, ahsuxicndowoejfbcis, xobs thank you for reporting and corroborating this issue. I just merged several tickets into a slightly older one as I'm pretty sure this is the same issue.

The good news is: I'm currently working on a fix 👍️

In the meantime, please refer to my earlier post as a "workaround".

Thank you all for your help in making Orion a better browser!

Have noticed this, too, newly (last however-many weeks). It's inconsistent across sites! Some sites yes, some no. Worse, it's inconsistent within sites; sometimes sites that usually misbehave in this manner…occasionally don't.

I was almost convinced there's a new problem with my screen or its protector, but the misbehaving sites don't misbehave in Safari.

Also getting this on iOS 18.6.2 (iPhone 12) Orion 1.4.1 (2) (WebKit 8621.3.11.10.3) on the Kagi search page, haven’t tested it on other sites

Just updated to [1.4.1 (2) (WebKit 8621.5.1.10.7)]. No change, still happening.

tom1952 I just started using Orion and saw your post here (the latest support message at the top). Not sure how quickly I would've found the same bug but I did quickly find a fix: Disable "Hide Toolbar on Scroll" in the"Appearance" settings. The toolbar no longer hides on scroll, though I personally hadn't even noticed.

Anyway, props to the Dev for a rad browser. I've been testing Quiche which is also very nice: Pros: unique design touches and customisation options. Cons: way too easy to open the pro-subscription payment page and no ability to switch tabs by swiping the toolbar, like Safari and Orion can. The addition of a "Close Tab" button on the toolbar, like Quiche allows, would be the cherry on top.

As of about a few months ago, scrolling vertically can no longer be caught.

When scrolling vertically, if you let go it’ll glide due to inertia. In previous versions, the scrolling webview could be caught to stop the scroll or reverse it.

Now all scroll interactions are blocked when scrolling. This japans with all pages, including when scrolling in this forum.

I should be able to catch an inertial scroll by dragging.

I noticed that flicking the viewport up (to scroll down) and then quickly tapping it to stop the scroll fails in Orion iOS during the toolbar hiding animation.

This “breaks” muscle memory built on Safari iOS, where the viewport scroll is always reactive to touch no matter what the rest of the UI is doing.

This issue cause the unpleasant “runaway scroll” whereby I flick the viewport to quickly scroll down a bit and then almost immediately try to “grab it” to stop it, but in Orion it keeps scrolling sometimes if the tap happens before the toolbar hiding animation completes.

The workaround is to disable toolbar hiding in the settings.

The viewport scroll should always respond to touches no matter what the toolbar animation state is.
