iOS app. Latest version (2.3.1).

When viewing a video from in a post if you swipe the playback position (attempting to skip forward), the app freaks out. It appears to be attempting to both interact with the video controls and swipe to the previous screen at the same time. At this point, both windows are active. The “back button no longer works. If I pick a different tab, nothing loads. I have to force close the app and reopen it.

In the screen recording, at 5s in I attempt to swipe on the video control. At that point most taps on the screen just move the split between the two windows. Moving the split fully does not resolve anything.

Lol, weird. Thanks for the video.

Edit as a temporary workaround, don't drag the video slider from the leftmost edge (you can drag anywhere on the slider)

Yeah, it’s kind of a fun one to play around with when it’s broken. For a slightly different workaround, you can also hold down momentarily on the playback slider, then drag. It’s the quick touch and drag (from the left) that seems to trigger it.

A feature request: add a setting to disable swipe from edge to go to the previous screen. For me, it’s a feature that I only use accidentally when trying to do a different swipe gesture.

Love the app. Thanks for all your hard work!
