Today, 14-March, it was discovered that some contributors' edit saving flows are being severely disrupted.


More specifically, contributors using mobile Safari on iPhone are finding the "Save" button is both a) out of view and b) unable to be scrolled to, rendering saving an edit extremely difficult. [1]


Current status: this bug is actively being worked on. The progress of which you can follow in the Phabricator ticket linked here and above.


1. Technically, the "Save" button can be accessed, and an edit saved, by "pinching to zoom out"

We should note that: in prioritizing deploying a solve for the above in short order, we knowingly introduced some other – less than desirable – changes to the mobile editing experience.


Changes to mobile editing as a result of the above:

• The editing toolbar on mobile VisualEditor is not sticky (read: it can be scrolled out of view) on iOS
