Hi all,

I'm relatively new in Node Red and in the process of replacing my OpenHab install with Node Red.
Everything seems to work fine, but the dashboard on the iPhone (6s, iOS 10) is unworkable.
Some switches just do not work. The switch goes to the right, but does not turn green (in dark mode).
Also, the slider seems to set the value correctly, but when changing to a different widget (slider or switch), the slider changes again to prox. 10%.
On the desktop, the dashboard works fine. I can however get the similar behaviour as on the iPhone by clicking on the slider-ball, which then gets a bit bigger and then seems to stick to the mouse. So even then I then have clicked to set a slider value, the slider-ball stays big, and when I then move the mouse, the slider moves along. Even though the mouse is not at all over the slider widget anymore.

On the iPhone I always seem to have to click on the slider/switch widget first before I can change it.
When I have clicked (or touched) a slider and then try to slide another slider, still the first one moves.

I first thought it was caused by the device feedback into the widget. I have mostly knx devices.
But when removing all input from the UI components, this behaviour stays the same.

I tried both Safari and Chrome on the iPhone. Both have this issue.
Also on Safari on iPad.

Does anyone experience similar behaviour?
I'm running the latest versions of everything, since the install is very new.
Is this on all version, of could it have been introduced in a recent version?

Without a proper ui on iPhone or iPad, Node Red is useless for me unfortunately.

Regards,
Joost

Just because it is a new install does not mean you have the latest
versions. Also the latest version of node.js is (I believe) not a good
idea, you should be on an LTS version. So tell us the versions of
node, node-red and node-red-dashboard please. Also what hardware and
OS are you running on?

Apparently this is an issue with the 'Dark' theme.
Just switched to the 'Light' theme and now the ui works as it should. None of the problems I described occur with this theme. 
Weird !
