Any other native map solution available meanwhile?

There's Mæp, modRana, and Poor Maps. modRana and Poor Maps are pretty good, Mæp hasn't been updated since April (but still works).

Gecko bug or general browser engine bug? 'Cause I experience this exact same bug on Chromium and Yandex Browser on my desktop OS as well (yes, I have a touchscreen!) and they're powered by Blink (which itself is forked from WebKit) rather than Gecko.

Thanks. Didn't really liked any of them but settle for modRana since I used it before.

A big +1 for including a SFTP account plugin.

Many people already use sftp to trasfer data to and from the Jolla (me included) because MTP is more or less totally unusable. Therefore it would only make sense to make it easily available in the GUI - also, it would be really #unlike (and probably also the first mainstream phone having this) and thus fitting with Jollas philosophy.

BTW, most mainstream Linux environments have some sort of GUI for adding SFT mount points or shortcuts (at least Gnome, KDE, XFCE, ...) so yet another reason for including it and making Sailfish OS more normal & usable.
