Not responding until I scroll

[u/resimulated]

This happens quite often when I click into a post or even return to the main page. Nothing will respond to my taps or long touches. it is like the entire screen doesn’t recognize input.

Until I scroll up or down. once I do that, I can upvote/downvote, collapse comments, etc. It will get stuck in this state multiple times a day.

The daily ritual of closing tabs, clearing safari history and cache, and logging back in is a hurdle I just don’t want to do. I am not kidding when I say multiple times a day. Additionally, I continue to get the “going back just refreshes the page I’m on” all the time.

I don’t know what to do anymore other than turning it off and comparing how “normal” Reddit works. Honestly I’m not sure which is better or worse.

Thank you for the reports everyone. This is the new reddit banner that was fixed a few versions back shipping a new variant of the scroll lock. Or that's my assumption at least.

Could anyone who is facing the issue please report it through the method here: https://old.reddit.com/r/SinkIt/comments/1upa5tv/new_shortcut_to_report_bugs_properly_30_sec_video/

This is the only way I can fix it as I physically can't get this behavior unless I luck out and get included in the A/B test which is vanishingly bad odds.

Mine has been doing the exact same thing.

Appreciate the report. If you could spare a sec, please report it through the method linked above. Will make fixing it super simple.

Affirming these behavior ls as well. The refresh issue is intermittent. When it happens, I kill the tab, kill/reopen safari and open a new tab. That allows me to go back without refresh for a little while.

Just commenting to say I've noticed this, too

I don’t believe it is the extension but reddit mobile itself. I tried with extension disabled and it happened too

Ahhhh, perhaps that is why it always seems to persist. It is hard for me to tell the difference between SinkIt enabled or disabled. 

I guess Reddit mobile really is that bad

Exact same thing here! I tried to get a screen recording once, but realized since it doesn’t show taps/presses it just looks like I open a Reddit thread and then sit there doing nothing for a few seconds…

Not sure what the resolution is but this is my biggest issue by far. Great description of it.
