[b]Is this bug reproducible?[/b]

Yes, always.



[b]Which devices did this bug appear on and is it reproducible on any devices?[/b]

iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0.1).



[b]A quick summary of the bug:[/b]

When opening the browser tab overview, or returning from it to an open tab, tabs are zoomed in and out in an animation. This animation stutters/lags, even when only one tab without loaded page (blank screen) is open.



[b]Detailed Step-by-step instruction on how to reproduce it:[/b][list=1]

[*]Open the in-app browser.

[*]Tap the tab overview button (bottom right).

[*]Look at the animation.

Hi,



This is normal because of how we hide our interface just before taking the screenshot (which is what is being used when it zoom out), so it looks like it's zooming in (with the interface gone, the site resizes itself) before the animation. We'll continue to improve the animations as we're working on the web mode interface.



Thanks!

That was not what I meant. You should look at the zoom out animation itself, not what happens before it starts. You'll see it stutters/lags, probably the FPS of the animation is way too low. I wouldn't expect that on an iPhone 5 with the new A6 chip.

Same thing here, also on an iPhone 5. I also see some suttering when I switch to the web browser view from the list of entries.

The animation is not as smooth as I would have expected with the A6 chip anyway.

Hi guys,



I bought this up with the devs, they do notice some issues with the animations and it's worse the older the devices. They'll try to revise to make it smoother as soon as the can.



Thanks for bringing this up.
