Navigating a long list of bookmarks causes a crash (iOS)

teltersat

Overall description
Every time I navigate a long bookmark list (in a folder) and have to extend the Menu Drawer from the bottom, I can see that there is an item from the list that is "ghost" selected, and if I wait without any input for a period of time, or if I tap on the "ghost bookmark" or any item afterwards, Orion crashes. Not sure if it is WebKit in it of itself because it happens randomly with random pages opened, and based on the UI navigation, it may be within Orion itself.

Steps to reproduce

Have a bookmark folder with 15+ items. (Only one folder level required)
Open Orion and navigate to any given Tab
Open the Bookmarks menu
Navigate to the respective bookmarks folder from step 1
Scroll quickly down the list to trigger the "ghost selection" behavior
Observe the app crashing randomly based on the overall description above

Hi teltersat thank you for taking the time to report this bug!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this issue with a bookmark folder of 25 bookmarks.
Could you give me more info: how many bookmarks do you have in the faulty folder?

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

jeanetienne Interesting - I have 24 bookmarks in the folder. My bookmarks structure is:
Root of Bookmars
|- Comics (24 items)
|- Topic A (4 items)
|_Topic B (15 items)

Not sure if it would make sense to delete all of the bookmarks and start over?

I was unable to reliably reproduce the issue, but we may be doing some work in the same area soon, so it may still see some improvement.

That is interesting - I can replicate this bug reliably. Sometimes it's one item, most of the times is three items that get this "ghost" selection. Is there any way to collect crashlogs to identify what the root cause is?

Hi teltersat, yes you can find a debug log by following these steps:

Go to Settings → Help & About
Enable the "Debug Log" option
You can now see the Debug Log in the Options menu

Feel free to attach it on a message in this thread 👍️

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