Bug ID: 68230
Summary: iOS App: App sometimes loads cached versions of pages
instead of loading new ones
Product: Wikipedia App
Version: Beta
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: iOS App

Created attachment 15975
--> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=15975&action=edit
Three different phones loading three different main pages on boot
1) Go to Barack Obama using search
2) Scroll down past the infobox
3) Go to any other article using search (e.g United States)
4) Go to Barack Obama using search
5) You're now at the point where you scrolled to before, rather than the top of
the article.
This bug also causes strange things like an outdated main page to be loaded.
See the attachment where the app was booted on three different phones, and each
one showed a different main page (!!).
Basically, if you're going "back" to a page somehow (e.g. by literally pressing
back), it's okay for a cached version to be loaded and for it to take you to
where you were on the page. But if you're moving "forwards" (e.g. through
search, or through wikilinks) then a fresh version should be loaded and it
should land you at the top (or at the link to the relevant section, if the link
was a section link).
