I'm not familiar with the code base. But I presume it has something to do with the history of the browser or lack thereof.
It definitely has to do with history. Although, I believe there's a web manifest argument to provide a start URL. That could be another work around. Let me try and re-create this issue a few more times and see exactly when it happens.
I have the same issue on Android, in case Actual is published as homescreen shortcut. Using the latest Edge.
Yep that's when I have it. It can be fixed by either changing the way history works or fixing the root cause that's opening the add transaction screen whenever you open the app. The way around it is to tilt to landscape and then back to portrait mode.
Thanks for the tip! I used to bypass it by using the Mobile version in browser, but this is also good workaround.
It's weird though, I am prety sure this is a fresh issue. I update my Edge image frequently, but this issue started showing itself very recently (days at most), at least on my device.
Will definitely look out for this - I'm on ioS Safari and have not seen it yet despite using the web responsive mobile version daily. I'm on Fly.
Yes, always in PWA on my iPhone. Will watch out for this though. Mine always defaults to the Budget screen on opening.
I have chrome so that might affect it. Mine opens as a standalone so I'm not sure witch browser
I just have the Safari link saved to the home screen and it then opens as an app. I may try Chrome.
PS Have now saved from Chrome to Home screen. will see how it goes
