Safe area insets are broken with Liquid Glass builds

LeoNatan

In recent TestFlight builds with Liquid Glass changes, safe area insets are broken, making it impossible to scroll to bottom or top of a webpage.

In the example video below, I use Orion to browse Slack on the web in desktop mode. Notice how the content is under the bottom bar, including scroll indicators. I then double tap on the page, which makes it change "polarity", and then the top portion of the page goes under the top bar, making it impossible to scroll to top.

Liquit Glass is cool and all, but it should not obstruct content like this.

1.4.18 (2)

Hi LeoNatan thank you for taking the time to report this problem!

We've investigated this, and the issue appears to be on Slack's side.

We understand this feels like a regression. As part of our "Liquid Glass" update, we transitioned to the modern APIs that Apple recommends for iOS browsers. Unfortunately, this has highlighted an incompatibility in Slack's web app. We confirmed the same issue occurs in Safari, which shows the problem isn't specific to Orion.

Because the fix needs to happen within Slack's code, we unfortunately can't resolve it from our end. The best course of action would be to report this issue directly to Slack. We're sorry there isn't a more direct solution we can offer at this time.

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

This has made this browser useless. And you just shipped it. Please explain to me how the previous iteration of the UI did not reproduce this issue?
