Bug: Browser occasionally gets into a state where pages don't accept any touch input.
I don't know how to reproduce this but sometimes the browser gets into a state when nothing happens when I click on any of the links. When this happens, switching between tabs or reloading the page doesn't help - the only way to workaround it is to close the browser app and open it again.
Edit 1 according to many people who provided feedback here, 1.0.2.5 does NOT fix this
EDIT 4.2.2014 many reports confirm that the bug is still present in 1.0.3.8
EDIT 20.0.4.2014 added 1.0.5.16 tag as reproduced on this build too
EDIT 12.06.2014 added 1.0.7.17 tag as reproduced on this build too
EDIT 21.01.2015 is this still applicable to 1.1.1.27 can anyone reproduce?
EDIT 02.10.2018 this is also applicable to 2.2.1.18 - For example eBay mobile pages, fine to begin with, but page/s get slower and slower scroll/select options from menus/click links like 'Mark as dispatched', etc.
That also happened to me when I wanted to Allow "BlueWhale" app to access my EverNote account.
Chinoman10 ( 2013-12-25 17:32:24 +0300 )editcan confirm this, this happens more often than not for me actually.
tiemen ( 2013-12-26 01:06:17 +0300 )editFor bluewhale it's a completely different issue, you just have to poke around hard until it registers. I don't know why this happens
qwazix ( 2013-12-26 13:05:13 +0300 )editHappens to me too when reading Yle news.
WanShan ( 2013-12-26 22:08:47 +0300 )editHappens to me often with ampparit.
CoolHand ( 2013-12-27 00:53:16 +0300 )editThe 1.0.2.5 has not landed yet on my device, but will check if the.'stalls' do get fixed, when the.OTA arrives at.Norhern Finland too ;)
foss4ever ( 2013-12-28 03:57:33 +0300 )editI still see this behaviour on for example this article on tweakers.net and my device is on 1.0.2.5
tiemen ( 2013-12-28 14:00:25 +0300 )edit1.0.2.5 and still keeps happening at many sites
ukithegreat ( 2013-12-28 18:27:36 +0300 )edityep i have the same problem with random sites
t0mps0 ( 2013-12-28 18:53:58 +0300 )editI didn't have any problems, although I spent many hours online today. Most of the sites were converted to mobile though.
WanShan ( 2013-12-28 19:28:02 +0300 )edit1.0.2.5 here and having this problem on random sites. Google search results for example. May be related to closing a tab and selecting a previously opened one.
hetas ( 2013-12-29 19:06:11 +0300 )editI have had this problen now several times in 1.0.2.5 in situations whete I leave.a browser session open while not using the phone for several hours.. On returning to browser all tabs open but only show the page that was there originally, it even lets scroll tge page up/down and reload it, but all the links in the page.don't work (can't click them).
foss4ever ( 2013-12-29 23:21:37 +0300 )editIn my case while not using the phone it has been always on WiFi network, and that connection had not been timed out or anything unusual there..
foss4ever ( 2013-12-29 23:23:20 +0300 )editProblems here too. random sites get stuck. very annoying. 1.0.2.5 didnt help.
Miika ( 2014-01-05 12:40:06 +0300 )editStill have it in 1.0.3.8, happened twice during the weekend and the only tabs I had open then were Twitter and TJC (this Together-forum). Had to close.and restart the browser to recover. The funny thing is that during that 'freeze' I can reload tabs and change them, but only the links can not be clicked (or nothing happens if U clicj anywhere in the page).
foss4ever ( 2014-02-03 14:01:50 +0300 )editBug re-appeared in 1.0.3.8.
ossi1967 ( 2014-02-03 20:09:28 +0300 )editWhrn this happens it is not only links that can't be clicked but the browser page doesn't recognize any touch or kbd input; pages cannot be zoomecd, text can't be typed, but landscape / portrsit can be changed, tabs can be reloaded and even new tabs opened (but notjhibg in them works). So it seems that the tabs/opened pages just don't receive any input.
foss4ever ( 2014-02-04 13:06:22 +0300 )editEdit: title reflecting symptoms..
foss4ever ( 2014-02-04 13:14:03 +0300 )editAlso had this issue occasinally on native Jolla browser. Browser restart is required to use it again.
TimTTK ( 2014-02-04 22:02:37 +0300 )editI got this also on foreca.fi with 1.0.3.8, I tried to zoom in to click on the "kylmimpiä paikkoja" but did not succeed. Also tried to switch tab after that but it locks all tabs that the links are not clickable. Zoom out/in works still ok. Not able to reproduce so no idea what actually triggered it.
NiklasW ( 2014-02-05 16:46:00 +0300 )editI'm getting the impression that it happens when the browser has been open for a while. At least it helps to close it and start new to get better results.
