Displays like this image below. Makes it a bit hard just jab at the screen until I get the comment box to come up but. 

 

What are you using? Looks like an iPhone to me...

 

It shows up in Android. Could 'maybe' that you have icons disabled... IDK

It’s likely a race condition with the JavaScript. Refresh it a few times and it usually shows up.  It’s very annoying.

Nah it’s a bug.  I’ve not tried it on Android but it’s definitely an issue with iOS.

No? hmm... I never use iOS, so that would explain it...

I've borrowed an iOS device to take a look at this, but I'm unable to reproduce it. If you have any more information about when it's happening (specific articles, articles with a certain number of comments, only on every other Wednesday, whatever) that would be helpful.

Linear mode, and only on articles with comments, it doesn’t matter what browser you use. I thought we had discussed this before and you confirmed it was an issue?  Anyway, try that. Eventually it will show up. 

I confirmed it wasn't a javascript issue, as there's no javascript involved in showing/hiding the icons. I've just switched to Linear view, as I was testing with the default threaded view previously. I'm still seeing the icons and unable to reproduce  the problem. If you see it again, and are able to plug it into a mac and look at it with the inspector, that would be really helpful in tracking down the cause. I spent two hours this evening attempting to connect to the iOS device from the chrome dev tools on a windows laptop, and had no luck - unfortunately I don't have a mac to connect it to

Just as soon as this is updated for iOS13.x, I'll  get you what you need. Its happening in Chrome for me, so...

I've come up with the same issue. 👀 Are there any other option how to deal with it? 🗨️

Yep, they want us to troubleshoot it for them. I’ve not had the time to hook up a debugger because it’s chrome on iOS and it’s not just something you can plug into a Mac and debug. So I’ve not had time to get to it. Know that you are not alone in the issue though. 

I've tried to reproduce this on the small variety of iOS devices I have access to, and have been unable to do so on any of them. If someone can reproduce it and hook it up to developer tools so they can send screenshots and help me troubleshoot, I might be able to fix it.  I accept that it's a genuine bug that affects multiple people, but if I'm unable to reproduce it, I'm unable to fix it.

Ok, this is out of hand now and happening 100% of the time for me. 
 

I don’t understand how I can be the only one. While  I would love to help if I had the time, I do not. Don’t give your customers homework is my company’s motto. 
 

Latest version of iOS, latest version of Chrome.

Hello, this may be the dumbest question in the world but can you check if you are not being logged out or something?

 

I can't reproduce it using dev tools in Chrome and setting it to iPhone. It only looks like that when I am logged out of Neowin. I don't have an iPhone to test this but everything appears fine in the comments on Chrome for Android.

Are you thinking it’s a cookie problem? Because those buttons are still present, they are just transparent. 11 years of being here has taught me to memorize their location 😏. Also, I think it requires chrome on an actual iOS device if my past testing is remembered correctly. 
 

If you don’t have an iPhone, browser stack or a simulator may reproduce it. 
 

 

The icons in the header and the comment area all come from the same 'sprite' image I believe, so it sounds like the issue might be there rather than in the css - and would explain potentially why clearing the cache resolves it temporarily. Could you look in the Network panel of the dev tools, and see the request for the sprite file, see if that's showing an error or some other useful info as to why it's not loading correctly?

    • So, for $60 we got GTA 5 WITH online. Now for $80, we get a game missing areas (shops locked to the $100 version) and no online. Progress!

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
