David N. Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) The navigation menu does not work as expected on an iPad in landscape mode. Top level items require two taps instead of one, whether or not they have sub-items present. When there are sub-items, the first tab displays the sub-items below the top level items but does not take you to the corresponding page if the top item is a link. This can be reproduced on all Invision Community websites that are using a stock invision template and no 3rd party plug-ins or applications. For example I was able to reproduce it with https://www.ic-essentials.com/ Edited September 19, 2023 by David N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 There is no hover function on these devices, so you have to click. I wouldn’t expect it any other way. David N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David N. Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just now, opentype said: There is no hover function on these devices, so you have to click. I wouldn’t expect it any other way. Then maybe I wasn't clear. Here's an example: You see how "Unanswered Topics" does not have a submenu. Neither does Downloads. On the PC, you click once on "Downloads" and you get to that page, as expected. On the iPad in landscape mode, you tap "Downloads" once and all you get is that little white arrow pointer point to Downloads, yet you're still seeing the Unanswered Topics. That's not the expected behavior from the user. The expected behavior is that you tap "Downloads" once and you load that page (and, if Downloads had a submenu, it would display that submenu at the same time).

opentype Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Still the same reason. I doubt IPS will touch that behaviour after having it for the entire 4.x line and with 5.x around the corner. I would “fix” that by not having main menu entries without sub-menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David N. Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 I understand the reason but as a user that's not the behavior I'm expecting. I don't mind waiting for 5.x for a fix but I do hope this will get fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marc Posted September 19, 2023 Solution Share Posted September 19, 2023 That is intentional behaviour at present. 5 has had a lot of work in terms of theming, so this may well change of course David N. and SeNioR- 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
