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.
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 which occurs with Firefox? It affects unread/uncached posts opened in a background tab.

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

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!
