Anyone else getting vibrating text in this article on mobile? An entire paragraph is shaking up and down. I'll check it out on desktop later.
Edit: Try zooming in and out on the paragraph below "There seemed to be a revolution underway, but, like many revolutions, it would end tragically." chrome on android, can't replicate it on other pages on tmn, just that one.
- soneca 10y agoI do. Chrome on Android also. It vibrates whenever one of the larger font quotations (like the one you mention) is at a particular position on the screen.
- andrewwomack 10y agoHey, I'm the publisher of the site. We just replicated the bug, and it sure is weird. Working on a fix. (Open to ideas, though!) Thank you!
- pacaro 10y agoThanks in advance! I'm experiencing the same problem on iOS. If i keep a finger on the screen and try to scroll gradually as I read, then it jitters. If I just scroll then release, read, scroll then release, etc. it is smooth.
- mattweinberg 10y ago(I'm a developer on the site) Although Andrew (above) can replicate this, I haven't been able to. But I know it's not just you. Are there any other details you can give? Do other stories on the site do the same? What kind of iOS device do you have? Sorry about this! It's the first we've heard of it and I wonder if it's something in this article. EDIT: I just recreated it. It looks like a continually switching class causing the text to re-flow. I'm going to disable that JS temporarily while I figure out why it's flapping. Thanks for reporting it! EDIT 2, 1:23PM Eastern US: I deployed a hotfix. We'll do a more permanent fix on Monday. If anyone else has trouble, let me know.
