Disappearing text cursor / insertion point in Safari iPad
(1/1)
Weaver:
I have lost the text cursor in Safari on the iPad (iOS 10). It just isn't there when typing into a multi line edit box, nor when typing into the address line, and this obviously requires typing blind which is very difficult. Everything else works as normal. I had to kill the process to get rid of the problem, by doing a swipe-upwards in the usual way. It's not the first time this has happened, but it is infrequent. Has anyone else seen this.
Ronski:
I've seen it before, or very similar on my Android tablet, only certain websites exhibited the behaviour which was very annoying. No idea what caused it though.
Weaver:
Which web browser?
It was when using kitz, both when entering text into a multiline edit box and into the address bar, so there was no way it could be to do with the particular web page.
Ronski:
I can't really remember now, but I think it was kitz and chrome on my Android tablet, but only affected typing replies, address bar was fine.
Weaver:
Ronski's issue is unrelated then, as it was a browser-internal thing specific to Safari, because it was not just in the web page content even.
