[bug,improvement] New browser
asked 2015-03-05 00:44:34 +0300
Bugs:
together.jolla.com login window gets partially covered by invisible white frame of height approx.100px and hanging from top of the page. Input text may be covered after focus-on-tap. Confirmed on my wife's Jolla. It's just annoying.
I'm unable to get keyboard on tap to some input boxes or small textboxes. It happens more often in this version than in any previous versions. But it's been always here!
textbox on together.jolla.com doesn't allow or break zoom function as well as some other features like comma and dot repositioning
Improvements:
tab reloads on switch (too sensitive memory tuning ?). This is very annoying especially when function - open tab in background - has not been implemented! If user reads article compiled of many links, browser doesn't remember last position, user gets lost. When one starts opening links in new tab, it's better only if the source tab stay as it is. But it mostly doesn't .
back arrow too far for right-handed&one-handed on horizontal view! It should be next to reload intead of the opposite side of the panel. Even if I manage handling my Jolla in horizontal position in one hand, I cannot close tab or go backwards withou help from other hand.
tab preview should be unequal. I.e. second tab could use half of the available space. Imagine that people actually really want to use multitasking ! While on my N9 I couldn't have tabs I could see content of all opened windows! I usually zoomed on the important part and then just used swipe transparency to read what I needed when I needed ! For example telephone number or citations or whatever ... If it's rather swipe to see open tabs than switch (because of the reload-on-tab-switch issue mentioned above!), people like me would be happier :) Right now, I have to open another browser to be able to use swipe transparency for seeing the information in background . Open in new window would solve it.
zoom on tap should make sure cursor is visible. Usually when user tap to write something, cursor gets covered by keyboard or gets lost somewhere else. Expected and normal on all other mobile platforms is that it makes sure cursor is alwas on top and visible.
