Description

Just loaded 1.4.4, and saw three timeline jumps happen in the same kind of situation.

A post above the one I'm reading is loaded, and then the image it includes is added to it. And instead of pushing the new post up, it pushes the current post down.

iPhone-2023 02 08-19 37 48 000 top half - the Epiphanic outline did the pushing

iPhone-2023 02 08-19 37 29 000 bottom half - pushed down

As the filenames say, I watched the outlined image of "Epiphanic" in the Ice Cubes post push the Mammoth post down off my screen when the outlined part was added.

Another one - the Snowden post was pushed down off my screen when the Ko-fi image was added:

iPhone-2023 02 08-20 07 22 000 top, did the pushing

iPhone-2023 02 08-20 07 05 000 bottom, pushed way down

Maybe a clue...

Research direction

Start by reproducing the timeline behavior described in the issue on iOS 1.4.4, using posts above the reading position that load images after the post appears. Trace the timeline and image-loading entry points to determine why the reading position moves, then verify that adding an image no longer pushes the current post off-screen.
