[UI Bug] sync version history screen needs some love

iOS 16.1; iPhone 13pro
Obsidian 1.4.1; default theme; no snippets; restricted mode

Don’t actually think this is a bug (as tapping <-back or X works fine) but the UI needs some care.

repo: Tap the three dots on any note (phone) > view sync version history > choose a version and you see:

Edit: The Sync activity/log screen looks great and works fine in v1.4.2(89)

Related: in the Obsidian Sync menu, with “Errors only” toggled off, the x is obscured. With it toggled on, the x is visible but nothing happens when tapping. Tapping “Done” at the bottom dismisses the screen as expected.

Once you’ve done the above, delete everything above this line.

Steps to reproduce

• Open any note
• Activate command palette
• Choose Sync: View Sync version history
• Tap on one of the versions

Expected result

1. On the version page, iPhone & iPad: Show diff toggle and back button layout should be sensible
2. On the version list page, iPhone only: The “x” button to close the window is fully visible

Actual result

1. On the version page, iPhone & iPad: Diff toggle and back button layout is not sensible
2. On the version list page, iPhone only: The “x” button to close the window is fully visible

@ariehen I am confused… in your post you say it was fixed in mobile version 1.4.2. I am seeing this issue on mobile version 1.4.6. Am I missing something? Is this a regresssion since then?

[ariehen]

I should have added some context. The post I linked is from November '22.

• The first issue (the off positioning of the ‘x’ and the “<- back”) when viewing individual file versions is still there in Obsidian mobile 1.4.6.
• The sync activity/log screen issue (the Errors only toggle covering the x) was fixed in v1.4.2 and continues to be fine in v1.4.6.

[blerg-sh]

Understood.

Rather concerning that an obvious and reproducible bug reported 9 months ago still is not fixed.

Looking better in Obsidian mobile 1.4.12 (111):
