Bug #: 30618
Summary: Desktop version fine on mobile UNTIL clicking "disable
mobile view"
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Device compatibility
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
With an original Droid with froyo, browsing via Opera Mobile, the default
wikipedia view is an annoying scaled down mobile view, so I usually scroll down
and click on "desktop view" to get the normal desktop view, which renders
perfectly when accessed in that manner.
After doing this many times, I decided to click on the button that purports to
permanently disable the annoying mobile version. Strangely, after I did this,
Wikipedia began to render as a different type of scaled-down mobile view, with
the right side bar contents missing, the same as they are also missing in the
prior mobile view, instead of the desktop view I requested, and there is no
longer a link at the bottom to access the real desktop view.
Since there was no problem viewing the normal desktop view when accessed by
clicking the link at the bottom of the original mobile view, there is no good
reason for an alternate mobile version to appear instead of the desktop view,
after clicking on a request to disable mobile view.
I should be taken directly to the full desktop view, not given a different
version of the annoying scaled-down mobile view which omits the right side-bar
images and tables.
Fortunately I can use the Dolphin HD browser to cloak my smartphone as a
desktop in order to get the good desktop view and buypass the annoying mobile
re-directs on all websites.
However, I wanted to bring this bug to your attention for the sake of those
using Opera Mobile.
