Title component not visible in "Pages" (desktop) display?

Description

  • Title component not visible in “Pages” (desktop, large screen) display?
  • This title is visible in mobile display!

How to replicate

  • Allways: in editor as well as in published apps.

Is the title component at the top of the page you’re viewing?

Yes, title is the 1st component on the page. Here you can see that it is correctly displayed in mobile screen emulation (and also in user’s view on mobile).


Unlike to that, when I switch to large screen, title disapears:

This a bug or ?

I need that because I want to display remaining time for quiz solutoin. Is there any other way to fix some text on the scrolling screen (like it was in classic with fleating buttons)?

What happens if you add a small separator component before the title component?

Nice try, but happens NOZHING on large screen!

In the past, when I’ve seen people report issues like this, usually putting a different component on top has helped…maybe even a breadcrumb component.

I’m sure it’s possibly a bug. Have you submitted anything to support yet?

Hi Jeff

I will try with breadcrumb, tnx.
This is bug report.

Srdačan pozdrav / Best regards!

Btw, is there any other way to freeze some content on the scrolling screen?

Something like that will require CSS. You can check at the following link. @Himaladin also has a lot of experience with CSS.

Thank you, @Jeff_Hager.

I’m not quite sure what you’re looking for, but you might want to try using position: sticky; if my guess is correct.

Position: sticky ; is an attribute for text component or within css?

Srdačan pozdrav / Best regards!

It’s CSS.

In your first screen shot, you’ve drawn an arrow from the Title component to some text at the top of the screen, in the navigation area. What you have pointed to there is not the Title component, but the screen Title. This is shown on mobile, and on desktop it is used in the breadcrumb component (if used).

In short, it’s not a bug and you’re looking at the wrong thing. If you don’t believe me, try reconfiguring your Title component to use a custom label and observe what happens.

@Darren_Murphy I was trying to make sense of that earlier by tracing up from the switch component looking for two components above it. I see a Title component, but there was nothing on the screen that appeared like a typical title component. Makes sense what you are saying though. Now I’m wondering if the actual title component has a visibility condition on it, or just isn’t pointing to any column values. :thinking:

My suspicion is that the Title component has no configuration, so it doesn’t show. Glide adds a default Title component to details screens under some circumstances, which often trips folks up.

I am very sorry that I caused confusion due to my confusion! :slight_smile:
I was confused with different display in mobile and desktop view of the navigation area title. In testing this situation, I introduced the title component, which was obviously wrong.
Nevertheless, the bug related to the screen title in navigation area is present anyhow: this title is displayed in mobile view and NOT in large (desktop) view.
Here the schreenshot without the Title component, just screen (tab) title, just named as "Quiz tab i mobile view:


, and here the desktop view (large screen, page), title disappeared:

Bingo, I found the bug!!! I was trying to make large view narrower for better screenshot, and imagine what happens: if the window is narrower than some limit, the bloody screen title suddenly appears:


Of course, this is because the narrower window forces switching to “mobile view”! But this is final evidence that there is a bug in desktop view: no display of screen title in navigation area!
The very sam effect can be observed not only in edit, but also i line app desktop view!

That’s the way it’s always been, and as far as I’m aware that is the way that it is supposed to work.
As I mentioned in my earlier response:

So if you were to add a Breadcrumb component to the top of your page, you would then see the screen title in both Mobile & Desktop view. At the top of the screen in mobile view, and as part of the breadcrumb in desktop view.

Yeah, I’m agreeing with @Darren_Murphy. Now that I’m fully understanding what’s happening, this isn’t a new behavior. Glide apps have always been this way.
