Back in late August 2022 we launched version 1.0 of our social video subtitling app Captionista into a crowded segment dominated by huge players including CapCut which is owned by the company behind TikTok.

I isolated a couple of new iOS 15 `ScrollView` bugs recently while working on the timing editor view in our new video subtitling app [Captionista](https://captionista.app). These particular problems did not exist in iOS 14.
Another in the long serious of little niggles with SwiftUI popovers on iPad. This time, it’s more serious but there is a workaround. If you show a sheet the user can interactively dismiss these on iOS, but they can also cancel the dismissal by bringing the sheet back up near to its “shown” position.
Turns out if you force the colour scheme of your app to the opposite of the device's current scheme, popover corners on iPad anti-alias badly.
