Reporting a viewport issue for the Microsoft Admin center while using Safari for my iPad Pro

Admin Center Viewport

Meme Summary

The Admin Center can't hold all this content.
    Even though it's only 2-3 buttons


Overview

When trying to navigate certain processes/setups in the Admin Center on my iPad Pro, the "Continue/Save/Finish/etc" buttons at the bottom of the screen very often "fall" off the page (for lack of a better term). For some reason, those final navigation options always want to extend beyond the site's viewport, and they continue to elude me despite scrolling and even zooming out.

LATELY I've been able to zoom out & zoom back in and that usually puts them back where they belong.


Specs & Diagnostic Information

I'm currently using the latest version of Safari for iPad on the latest version of iPadOS, and (though I doubt it's relevant) my iPad is the iPad Pro (2018) 12.9in model.

Safari Details

In Safari my default Page Zoom is 85%, but I usually use the Admin Center at 75% so everything fits nicely. I haven't tried Edge/Chrome/Firefox recently because they lack the ability to adjust the page zoom on mobile, and on my iPad, I'm already viewing the "Desktop Site" so it's particularly frustrating.


Other Systems (Mostly) Unaffected

This issue does not persist in any way on Desktop, regardless of the operating system or browser. I use all primary browsers in some capacity or another and I use all major operating systems- Windows Primary, MacOS secondary, Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 for desktop GUI), so I'm very confident this issue is exclusive to Safari for iOS/iPadOS.

The Issue in iOS

iPhone Model: iPhone XS Max
     iOS & All Software updated to latest versions

The issue has been reproduced on mhy iPhone, but only a few times, despite somewhat frequent usage. As for my Android, there have been no issues (though access on that device has been sparse). I use the Kiwi browser and an extension to modify Page Zooms since mobile browsers have something against adjusting your viewport.

I almost thought it was over

Anyway, feel free to contact me regarding this. I've got too much going on to do my usual "above & beyond" issue reporting that includes marked up screenshots & screen recordings, but I think this small novel should suffice. lol

Scratch that, as I went back into the browser to paste this essay, more than half of the Feedback window decided to fall out of the viewport. The Zoom tricks didn't work, neither did rotating the display. However, during the process I accidentally recreated the issue and then seemed to just break the entire loaded site and had to refresh. lol

The Captures

It looks like I can't actually submit files beyond the automatically-captured screenshot (which I'm including even though I have no idea if it's helpful or not). However, now I'm determined, so I'll be uploading material to GitHub since I'm pretty confident you're not "allowed" to accept OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox links. 🙃

Feedback can't stand up
