Orion iOS is randomly freeze when unused for a while
I‘m having the same issue. It‘s so „severe“ that I had to stop using Orion.
Sometimes I also am able to click into the url bar and the keyboard appears, but when I type, nothing actually gets typed.
It doesn‘t seem to matter if I have 1 or 20 tabs. though this might have to be tested further.
I‘m on iPhone 13 iOS 16.4.1 (20E252).
Does anyone have any steps to reproduce this? I use Orion iOS daily and never had this happen.
This happens to me several times a day. (iPhone 13 Mini)
I’m not sure how to reproduce, as I don’t do anything special - but I wonder if it’s even worse if the site I was on has video streaming. (So that could be something to try.)
It happens to me as well. Looks random so it’s hard to willingly reproduce, but usually is when the app has stayed in background for some time, and at least another app has been used.
I’m on iPhone SE, OS 16.5, Orion version 1.2.9 (1) (WebKit 8615.2.9.10.3).
This happens to me multiple times a day. I feel like it happens from when I open a link from email or another app. I have wondered if related to sync (I mentioned that in a thread about sync). I know it is frustrating to hear from us without clear steps. If I see a pattern I will post. Later I will turn of sync to rule it out possibly.

Unfortunately, I can’t reproduce it too easily. I tried to use it, wait a few minutes (between 5-10 minutes) but it still worked normally. Then, when I tried again the next morning (so several hours later) it happened again. I can try to narrow down if time between usage matters (or at least in what capacity), but it may take some time and I‘m not sure, if I‘ll be able to track it too meticulously.
The one commonality between the people who wrote here is that all seem to use an iPhone 13? (though someone seems to use a mini while I use a regular 13). Might be illogical, but you know how those things go in bug fixing
Edit: Ups, sorry, just saw the one comment where the user is using iPhone SE, so yeah..
I’ve also not found a clear pattern but it happens a lot on my iPhone 14 pro. And indeed after having Orion inactive for a while.
Today I uninstalled Orion and reinstalled it to see if using it without customizations keeps the freezing away. Maybe from there I can find a pattern.
janpeeters Thanks for doing that!
Hello, I am also having this issue. Next time I chance upon it, I will try to record it. It is very odd because it lets me type in the search, but the browser is frozen.
iOS 15, iPod touch 7th generation
It happens to me as well (iPhone 11, IOS 16.1). Frequent but difficult to reproduce, unknown pattern.

Steps to reproduce:
On iOS (iPhone 14), often when I come back from the background, I’m not able to click or scroll anything, including the page, the address bar, menu, etc. When I force close the app and restart it, it works again. This issue is intermittent but happens frequently.
I’ve attached a video; it’s not very eventful but it’s just me tapping all the menu buttons and the page itself. The only response is that when I tap the address bar the keyboard pops up but typing in it doesn’t do anything (clicking “Go” closes it).
Expected behavior:
Everything should be responsive after coming back from the background.
Orion, OS version; hardware type:

iOS 16.2
iPhone XR
