@joel-jeremy commented on GitHub (Jan 1, 2024):
Was the add transaction page the first page that was opened?
@gagegogan commented on GitHub (Jan 1, 2024):
Yes
@gagegogan commented on GitHub (Jan 1, 2024):
I'm not familiar with the code base. But I presume it has something to do with the history of the browser or lack thereof.
@gagegogan commented on GitHub (Jan 1, 2024):
It definitely has to do with history. Although, I believe there's a web manifest argument to provide a start URL. That could be another work around. Let me try and re-create this issue a few more times and see exactly when it happens.
@jsehnoutka commented on GitHub (Jan 3, 2024):
I have the same issue on Android, in case Actual is published as homescreen shortcut. Using the latest Edge.
@gagegogan commented on GitHub (Jan 3, 2024):
Yep that's when I have it. It can be fixed by either changing the way history works or fixing the root cause that's opening the add transaction screen whenever you open the app. The way around it is to tilt to landscape and then back to portrait mode.
@jsehnoutka commented on GitHub (Jan 3, 2024):
Thanks for the tip! I used to bypass it by using the Mobile version in browser, but this is also good workaround.
It's weird though, I am prety sure this is a fresh issue. I update my Edge image frequently, but this issue started showing itself very recently (days at most), at least on my device.
@Kidglove57 commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2024):
Will definitely look out for this - I'm on ioS Safari and have not seen it yet despite using the web responsive mobile version daily. I'm on Fly.
@gagegogan commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2024):
@Kidglove57 it needs to be in pwa mode
@Kidglove57 commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2024):
Yes, always in PWA on my iPhone. Will watch out for this though. Mine always defaults to the Budget screen on opening.
@gagegogan commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2024):
I have chrome so that might affect it. Mine opens as a standalone so I'm not sure witch browser
@Kidglove57 commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2024):
I just have the Safari link saved to the home screen and it then opens as an app. I may try Chrome.
PS Have now saved from Chrome to Home screen. will see how it goes
@matt-fidd commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2025):
I believe this has now been fixed, I'll close it off but feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce.
