I am an avid Wikipedia reader on my Android phone. Several days ago, I noticed
that the "Show/Hide" button of any section within an article would duplicate
itself (i.e "Show/Hide/Show/Hide.......") indefinitely as that section was
opened and closed, with the button itself growing into some sort of
monstrosity. I had considered that bug(which has apparently been eradicated
with a new version of the software) to be only minimally annoying and even
somewhat comical. However, at the same time the "Show/Hide button bug"
appeared, I noticed two other much more annoying bugs.
The first is that when I use my Android browser back button (specifically
the hooked arrow on the face of the phone), instead of exiting the article and
navigating to the previous browser page wikimobile will drag me back through
the headings of every single section I had opened in that article. Before what
I'm calling the "Show/Hide button bug", using the browser back button would
simply take me back to the previous browser page which seems to make more sense
to me. As it is, depending on the number of sections I have read I might have
to hit the back button ten or fifteen times to get back to the previous
article.
The second, slightly less annoying bug I noticed regarding navigation seems
to have begun occuring with the new version. After I've hit back ten or fifteen
times in order to get to the previous article, I won't be in the same position
in that article as I was before.
The only frame of reference I have for calling out these two bugs is my
previous experience with wikimobile - a single click meaning returning to the
previous article in the same place I had been. I really enjoy reading
Wikipedia, and I thank you for your time.
