Jonas, why is the bug marked "Fix Committed" if your branch hasn’t been reviewed yet?

Huh, how is it fixed? I just checked and the page doesn’t seem any more mobile-friendly than it used to be.
I can’t seem to change back the status of the bug though…

So it's merged to trunk now but apparently would still need deploying to production?

I've created a ticket #81525 to find out whether this could be moved to production already. CC:d Jonas, Alfonso.

The ticket has been closed as fixed and it seems to work fine on the phone!

The start.ubuntu.com webpage isn't touchfriendly. And certainly not fixed at all. The page is unusable for touch devices with small screens.

Olivier Tilloy (osomon) wrote :

Try reloading the page, it has been updated. I’m attaching a screenshot of how it looks like on my device.

Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki) wrote :

Yes, updated today. Here's how it looks like on my Bq Ubuntu phone.

It's working now for me. Thanks! I confirm this as fixed
