Mobile web interface can't scroll down all items in sub-menus
0%
Description
When accessing pfSense web interface from mobile device and selecting a menu with long list of items (like "Services"), I cannot see the lower part of the list, no matter if I try to scroll down the screen, it doesn't scroll down further.
I've tested this behaviour with a Samsung S6 (screen 5.1 inches - Resolution 1440x2560 pixels) and reported in the Screenshot_1.png attached: in this case I can see till "SNMP", which got cutted by the way, and I'm missing "UPnP & NAT-PMP" and "Wake-on-LAN".
A similar behaviour is happening with a LG G5 (screen 5.3 inches - Resolution 1440x2560 pixel) and reported in the Screenshot_2.png attached: in this case I can see till the "NTP" item and I can't scroll down further ("PPPoE Server" and so on...).

Try changing System->General Setup, webConfigurator section, Top Navigation. Set it to "Scrolls with page". That should let you scroll down to see the bottom menu items.
When Top Navigation is set to Fixed it can be handy to be able to see the menu bar all the time when scrolling the page contents, but if your screen is not big enough then you get the menu problem that you describe.

yes that solves the problem, but I find very handy to have it fixed when I use it with a normal web browser at home and this seems to have no impact on the mobile site, since it doesn't have a real "Top Navigation" bar in the mobile layout, but just the menu icon in the top right.
Will it be possible to improve current web interface to ignore this setting when accessing with a mobile device?
thanks

I have some code under review that allows custom GUI preference settings per user.

That will allow you to create another user that can have different custom webConfigurator settings, like this Top Navigation, dashboard columns, and the selected widgets and their arrangement on the dashboard. So you would be able to make a user account that has mobile/small-screen friendly settings, without messing up the settings you use on a large-screen.
