Hi. Version 14.4.0.
Salient preferences:
- Stories shown: Unread only
- After mark read: Stay here
- Mark stories read: Immediately
Since the recent large update to the app, I find that if:
- I open a story, get part way through reading it
- Switch away from the app (e.g.: decide to open the story in a browser, or leave the phone unattended and it locks)
Then, upon returning to the app:
- The opened story has disappeared, and I’ve returned to the list of stories in that particular feed.
- The story I was reading is no longer listed (probably because it was marked as read when I opened it).
It’s like it refreshed the story list for the feed in the background, and because I don’t display read stories it clobbered the one I had open.
When this happens and I hadn’t finished with it, I usually have to flick over to Read Stories and re-open it there.
Note:
- This doesn’t always happen if I’ve switched away and back briefly (e.g. a minute or two). Only if I’m away from the app for some time.
Desired behaviour:
- Upon returning to the app, the screen is exactly as I left it with the story I was reading opened and the scroll position unchanged.
Ta. (That’s Australian for, “Thanks”!)
