Strange behaviour iPhone 4 Safari

While testing my website's mobile version on several devices, I noticed a very strange behaviour.

I have a scrollable content div with overflow: auto, and this works properly on all tested devices, except iPhone 4 on Safari. Other browsers and devices display it correctly, even iPhone 5 Safari.

On iPhone 4 Safari, when you scroll to the end of the content, a lot of extra whitespace appears at the bottom (looks like 100-200% extra height) and the text disappears when scrolling. This doesn't happen on any other devices in Safari, nor does it happen in other browsers on iPhone 4.

Has anyone ever heard of such a phenomenon before? I have absolutely no clue what causes this behaviour or how to fix it.

Since I only have access to a limited amount of devices for testing, I may be overlooking other devices/browsers where this issue also occurs. If you have a mobile device and want to test it as well, the live site is here: Live site. On the mobile homepage, click one of the logo's to expand the content, then try scrolling down.

Is this possibly a device / OS-specific bug?

Encountered a strange error when using hdiutil to create a dmg file in OSX 10.7.5

Hello all,

 

I encountered a very strange issue that when I use hdiutil to create a dmg file in OS 10.7.5. My commands and the result as below.

 

/usr/bin/hdiutil create -ov -fs HFS+  -srcfolder "/dummy/myApp" "myApp.dmg"

......................................................................

diskimages-helper: resize request is above maximum size allowed.

hdiutil: create failed - Invalid argument

 

The total size of myApp is about 200MB, so I don't think it is above maximum size allowed. Another very interesting thing is if I double click the myApp folder to create a temp file .DS_Store in myApp, then re-run the commands and it works. Does anyone know why it is or how to fix it?

 

Thanks,
