Safari in ios8 is scrolling screen when fixed elements get focus
In IOS8 Safari there is a new bug with position fixed.
If you focus a textarea that is in a fixed panel, safari will scroll you to the bottom of the page.
This makes all sorts of UIs impossible to work with, since you have no way of entering text into textareas without scrolling your page all the way down and losing your place.
Is there any way to workaround this bug cleanly?
#a {
height: 10000px;
background: linear-gradient(red, blue);
}
#b {
position: fixed;
bottom: 20px;
left: 10%;
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
}
textarea {
width: 80%;
height: 300px;
}
<html>
<body>
<div id="a"></div>
<div id="b"><textarea></textarea></div>
</body>
</html>
Answer
Based on this good analysis of this issue, I've used this in html and body elements in css:
html,body{
-webkit-overflow-scrolling : touch !important;
overflow: auto !important;
height: 100% !important;
}
I think it's working great for me.
