Describe the bug
When using Bookstack 0.26.1 with iPhone, it's impossible to edit and next scroll down the text. Particularly annoying with long content

Expected behavior
Text to edit should scroll down whether in computer or on mobile devices. This would make Bookstack a fully responsive tool.

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): linuxserver / 0.26.1
PHP Version:
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): docker

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Thanks for reporting @Zciwobukaj.

I think this may be specific to iOS devices, I think safari has issues scrolling within an iframe. Will have to maybe re-think how the editor is laid-out for mobile. Will have to check the editor itself to ensure there's not going to be other fundamental issues anyway, even after fixing scrolling.

Hi @ssddanbrown , thanks for your reply.

I didn't precise it : I use Firefox for iOS when I perform my test on Bookstack.
Now, I check with Safari and the behavior is exactly the same.
