Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/5382

Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When creating a new transaction via the safari created webapp, you cannot scroll within the categories menu. The only way is to use the search bar.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Reproduction:
1 - go into safari
2 - add actualbudget to the home screen
3 - login, then go to the "Add Transaction" button in the menu
4 - click on the category field

Where are you hosting Actual?

Fly.io

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Safari

Operating System

Mobile Device

Hi! Thank you for reporting this. I don't seem to be able to replicate it on the most recent nightly version. Are there any other steps I can try?

Oh well, I forgot another aspect.

My current version is also v25.7.1. But I am using iOS 26 Beta 4 for testing purposes. Didn't try it with the current iOS 18.5 release version yet.

Apple also implemented a new keyboard in safari in this version which seems to create some issues. I unfortunately don't know if they'll fix it on their side or if it has to be fixed by the individual developers. :/

I'm not able to test with the beta but if there is anyone who'd like to upgrade and have a go at fixing it then I'll leave this open.

I've found out, that it still happens in iOS 26 PB1 and also it ONLY happens in the Transactions popup. It does NOT happen, when I'm trying to fix my over-budgeting under Budget.

Also, weirdly, in the Transactions popup the whole body scrolls instead of only the popup box. But this happens only when the popup is opened. When I am not in any popup (selecting a category or something like that) it does not happen.

@matt-fidd Maybe I can fix it myself. But unfortunately I am not very good in react.

Afaik the issue only happens when the keyboard is being shown. This is only the case in the transaction popup.

Do you know what functions gets called to open the keyboard on ios? Maybe the solution is as simple as just not showing the keyboard automaticall but instead only showing it when the user taps on „Search“.

I think we just use default browser <input> logic, but I don't know for sure off the top of my head.
I'll be able to take a look once iOS 26 comes out properly, but it might be a Safari side bug that Apple ends up fixing before the release.

I'm able to recreate this on iOS 26.0 (23A5330a).

I'm seeing it happen on the following fields when editing a transaction:

  • Payee
  • Category
  • Account

I too notice that it only happens when the keyboard is displayed. If I hide the keyboard, I am able to scroll again.

Not got a fix yet, just putting this up to think out loud.

Taking a look at this now I've updated, it looks to be a focus issue. I'll admit this screengrab isn't the most obvious to follow but I'm inspecting through Safari on my laptop connected to my phone.

When you click a field to edit (payee/category/account) on the transaction edit page, it adds focus to the button and doesn't release it, you can see it highlighting the element in devtools towards the start of the video.

If you change focus manually to the modal (hit the title for example), you can scroll on it as normal.

Pressing the title works perfectly as a workaround.

@saugstauberr I think I've got a fix together.

Could you try out the deploy preview on https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/5752 please?

Just tried it via the provided deployment url and the demo and it worked as intended. Tried pressing the search bar, then removing the keyboard again. This also worked without any issue.
