What could be causing the weird bug where a page link is selecting the section it is pinned to on certain mobile devices, even after trying different browsers?
If you are experiencing a weird bug where a page link selects the section it is pinned to on certain mobile devices, even after trying different browsers, there could be a few potential causes for this issue.
Here are a few possible reasons and solutions to consider:
Pin interaction conflict: One possible cause could be a conflict between the pin interactions on the page and the link itself. Pin interactions are used to simulate scrolling or fixed positioning effects on elements, and they can sometimes interfere with the normal behavior of page links. To troubleshoot this issue, you can try removing or disabling any pin interactions on the affected section or element and see if the bug persists.
Z-index conflict: Another potential cause for this bug could be a z-index conflict between the pinned section and the link. Z-index determines the stacking order of elements on a page, and if the pinned section has a higher z-index than the link, it can cause the link to be obscured by the section. To fix this, you can try adjusting the z-index values of the elements involved, ensuring that the link has a higher value than the section.
Viewport height inconsistency: In some cases, the issue could be related to inconsistencies in viewport height across different mobile devices. If the section being pinned has a fixed height that's not compatible with the viewport height of certain devices, it can cause the link to behave unexpectedly. To address this, you can try using relative units (like percentages or viewport units) instead of fixed heights for the pinned section.
Mobile-specific CSS styles: Certain CSS styles applied solely to mobile devices might also be causing the bug. Check if you have any media queries or CSS rules specifically targeting mobile devices and affecting the behavior of the link or the pinned section. You can try disabling or modifying those styles to see if it resolves the issue.
Browser-specific bugs: Occasionally, certain mobile browsers may have their own quirks or bugs that can cause unexpected behavior with pinned sections and links. Make sure that you are using the latest versions of the browsers you are testing on. You can also try testing on different mobile devices to see if the issue is consistent across all platforms.
Overall, troubleshooting and resolving this issue will involve a process of elimination, trying different solutions to identify the root cause. It can be helpful to isolate the problem by creating a minimal test case with only the necessary elements and interactions. Additionally, reaching out to Webflow support or consulting the Webflow community forums could provide further insights into similar issues and their resolutions.
