Display flashes in cgi Web App when viewed on iPad Safari

Targets Web

Strange problems:-

  1. Some controls disappear / flash when viewed on iPad Safari browser.
  2. Button captions appear in larger font size compered with label text.

When viewed on Win 7 laptop (IE 11 / Chrome / Firefox) - display is perfect.
Try browsing this test app:-
link text
At the top of the window, tap on the “Mail Settings” tab, then try scrolling the text area on the right of window to see the flashing / disappearing effect. If the window blanks completely, tap on “Members Admin” tab, then return to “Mail Settings” tab, and display is restored to normal.

I am viewing with iPad Air, IOS 8.1.2

(This test app contains almost no code - none of the buttons do anything…)

Built with Xojo 2014 R3.1

The Xojo project code is here:-

Any ideas?

I cannot recall exactly where, but I read several times about issues with WebContainers and iDevices.

I confirm the project you posted manifests a nasty behavior.

The solution seems to be to place the controls on a webpage instead. I did that and it looks like it works quite fine.

I also tried to place the controls onto a dialog, but the TextArea scroll becomes quite choppy.

Thanks Michel,
Well I’m glad it’s not just me!
Yes, I might have to code a workaround with webpages instead of containers - but I will also have a nose through old bug reports…
