Description

Platform

Mobile - Android

Describe the bug
  1. When using offline on Android, the "AI summary" window constantly closes and reopens while reading the article, causing the text to jump up and down at the beginning of the article, which greatly affects the reading experience.
  2. When reading articles offline, the articles that have been read will not be marked as read.
  3. In the "articles" list on the home page, the article items always move up and down. For example, if there are articles A, B, and C arranged from top to bottom, when I click on A, I might end up viewing article C because article A has moved to the top. It's like the list was instantly pulled up (this issue might be a bit difficult to reproduce because I keep closing the program and re-opening it offline. The problem still occurs, but when I reconnect and re-enter the application, the problem disappears. Even if I disconnect from the network and re-enter, the problem does not reappear).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the three offline Android symptoms described: the AI summary window reopening, read articles not being marked, and the home-page articles list shifting. No files, tests, or entry points are named; done means stable article positioning, reliable read status, and a stable summary window while offline.
