This has to deal with our PDF view most likely here:

App/src/components/AttachmentView.js

Line 48 in d6a6073

<PDFView

so that would be a great starting place to fix this. Should be fine marking as External

I'm going to have to reassign this one, I'm sorry. I'm back from OOO and autoassigner is playing catch-up so I'm absolutely smashed with assigned GHs atm.

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

@johnmlee101 tried to test this on iOS (I don't have an iPhone) and he couldn't reproduce it either, so I am going to close it.
