BUG?: Strange Behaviour in iOS app when switching away and back
In the last few versions of the iOS app, I've noticed strange behaviour when switching back to the Logos iOS app after switching away to another app and switching back to Logos (via Task Switcher or 4-finger swipe etc).
- The resource text is now shifted up the screen, by varying amounts
- If I two finger swipe in the Logos app to switch tabs and back again, text position is restored, but new highlights added from that moment on do not appear immediately, but require me to change pages and back again. Once this happens, long pressing resource text no longer produces the context menu.
- I can only restore normal behaviour (i.e text layout and context menu behaviour) by force quitting and restarting Logos.
It seems to happen most often when I've switched away and done a few thigns, esp in more memory hungry apps like Safari or Spotify and then switch back to Logos.
This happens about 75% of the time. I'm on an older iPad Pro 2017, with iOS 17.7.5.

The resource text repositioning has been separately reported (instance of switching vertical > horizontal > vertical). Yours seems another variation of the problem.
I've experienced the non-appearance of highlights, requiring a page change and needed restart. Mine occur when editing a highlight.
The puppy's got the bug. You might tag your post with 'Bug'

@Richard Lyall Please accept my apologies. We already have an open ticket for this issue. We are working on a fix.

I’ve had the same issue with highlights, but I wonder if it’s a separate bug from the text-shift issue or if it’s related. I’ve tried to explain the text-shift issue in this post:

@Richard Lyall This will be fixed with the release of version 42.

Hey Joe ... Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to testing it out.

I've had a go with the v42 beta and the described behaviour seems better overall, though I need to test it more.
- I haven't encountered the layout issue again so far i.e. the text not being paginated properly after switching back to Logos from another app.
- I still ran into the problem of the long press menu not appearing though after switching back from another app. However after I double finger swiped to change tabs and then changed back again, the long press menu reappeared and new highlights applied from that moment appeared immediately, which didn't happen in previosu versions. I woudl have had to force quit and restart.
So there is progress, but still some buggy behaviour. I'll keep playing with it.
