   Version 4.2 has made my Mastodon web experience sub-optimal on Safari.

   First I noticed the posts column flashing/jerking and redrawing when scrolling. Just awful.

   Next I noticed I wasn't getting notifications, then realized I wasn't getting pushes for notifications at all—I have to reload the page.

   Now I find I cannot edit the Advanced Interface columns: no "x" to close a column and the hamburger does nothing.

   All this so someone somewhere can do a search on our posts. Sigh.

     Is this on the default web interface?

     Since the implementation of 4.2 I've also seen my feed stutter & reload. I finally had to hide images but unfortunately I can't find an option to hide link previews.

     Yes

     Version 4.2 official web interface on Safari.

     First I noticed the posts column flashing/jerking and redrawing when scrolling. Just awful.

     Next I noticed I wasn't getting notifications, then realized I wasn't getting pushes for notifications at all—I have to reload the page to see favorites or mentions or the number flag.

     I cannot edit the Advanced Interface columns at all: no "x" to close a column and the hamburger icon does nothing.

     Did turning off the autoplay GIFs correct all that?

     @feditips Turning off autoplay GIFs reduced the stuttering by 80-90%; didn't affect anything else. Right now no push for notifications is a killer issue (though in fairness I need to restart the computer to see if that helps; maybe I'll do that now.)

     Yeah, I would restart everything to see if it's some kind of temporary glitch. Haven't seen anything like that here.

     @feditips That didn't fix any of the issues (if anything the stutter is worse.) Pretty sure it's related to the new full-aspect image display code for with the Advanced interface (that uses small images) there is zero stutter. Which would be great if I could customize it at all.

     The Home timeline auto-refreshes, but not the Notifications.

     I'm just trying the advanced interface and not noticing any issues. No stuttering, and notifications are coming through fine.

     I wonder if this is a Safari problem?

     @feditips I wouldn't be surprised, Safari often seems to be the unwanted step-child of independent developers. No push notifications is the issue that affects me the worst now. (Stepping away from the computer for now.)

     Thanks for the headsup about this problem.

     If you have the time and the inclination, would be interesting to see if you can try it with Firefox?
