NetBox version

v3.1.6

Python version

3.7

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use the default Safari browser on iPad (this is iPad Pro with iOS 15.2.1) to access NetBox frontpage in landscape mode
  2. Swipe up

Expected Behavior

It is expected to be able to scroll to the end of the page and see the NetBox version number as well as use the docs and other links in the page footer also when using an iPad device.

Observed Behavior

The footer is shown momentarily but the links are not accessible because the page scrolls back up again to hide the footer.

If the swipe is repeated, the footer is not shown at all. Note: in some cases if the pin button has been operated at some point, it changes this behaviour (like you can swipe up three times and the footer shows while swiping, but the fourth swipe does not show the footer anymore). I always have the left navigation bar visible and in that case this described behaviour is 100% reproducable.

If the device is used in portrait mode, the problems are more complex, including the loss of the large NetBox icon on top left, and unusable pin button to fix the left navigation bar. In the portrait mode it is sometimes possible to see the footer on every swipe but not all the time.

Regardless of the device orientation and the pin setting the footer links are unaccessible in all cases.

I see some of the similar issues on iPad have been fixed/handled in earlier issues but I'm not sure if this current behaviour has already been discussed somewhere.
