unscrollable video fields on iOS 17.1 & Voyager 1.17.1 (lemm.ee)

When autoplaying video appears in the main feed it is not possible to scroll using the area of the screen occupied by the video.

If the video is portrait, and fills the screen, it is no longer possible to navigate the feed without finding a way back or force quitting the app.

This bug was reported here previously and it was said at the time that it was iOS' fault and that the beta of iOS 17.1 fixed the problem. The problem remains.

Voyager 1.17.1 running on iOS 17.1 using an iPhone SE (2nd Generation).

Yeah, the beta did fix the problem, but it came back in the official release. I don't know why, maybe there was some issue they had to revert the fix. It's very frustrating for me too.

I have a workaround to allow to scroll over videos, for next release but it doesn't work perfectly.

small rant, I really hate major iOS updates. There's always bad Safari regressions.

Im not at all familiar with the processes of WebKit, but the commit that was the result of the PR which is referenced in the linked bug, is not part of any release tag yet. So it's unlikely that this change is available in any stable software that is built with WebKit (I.e. safari)
