Even in desktop Safari, scroll on <main> is not sometimes smooth at this time. It's probably a WebKit bug, but I'm looking at how this can be worked around.
Some findings: * The issue can be reproduced when JavaScript is disabled * The page can be scrolled smoothly when Safari's window is not getting focused * I don't see any slowness on other long pages like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=quicksearch.html https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Core I doubt that the legacy table layout on the bug page is the culprit.
On desktop Safari, CSS `will-change: transform;` will solve the issue, as described in https://dev.opera.com/articles/css-will-change-property/ Will test it on iOS once I get an iPad next week.

I cannot reproduce the issue with the current iOS version of Safari. :jya, can you please test again? I'll separately address the smooth scroll issue on desktop Safari mentioned in Comment 3.

yes, I'm seeing this very often, with both safari and firefox. I typically scroll up then down a few times, and magically I can scroll down again after that.. sometime it takes several retries for things to work When is the change going live in bugzilla so I can test again?

No, we haven’t changed anything yet. Will test with my iPad again…
I can reproduce it fairly consistently by opening the comment (on a busy bug) from the mail client (apple mail)
I have analyzed this today and believe that this is a bug in Mobile Safari, because the same issue can be observed on Google News adopting a similar layout/CSS. Will revisit later, but I’d close this for now.

I think I have found a solution for this.

Well, no, I still see the issue. I’ll revisit this after iOS 13 is out.

This may be related to an issue with taking a screen shot of a full page in Bugzilla that extends past the viewport Firefox Screen shots?
