I found a weird issue with my fixed header under the following conditions:

  1. iphone 6+, landscape mode
  2. safari, at least two tabs opened
  3. my page has a position: fixed header and a body and html with position: relative, height: 100%

After page loads and when scrolling down, all works good, the header is in place and web inspector shows it correctly:

enter image description here enter image description here

But when you scroll up and pull the page down the screen and release, the header is still visible on the page, but actually it is shifted somewhere below the viewport (see that web inspector does not highlight it).

enter image description here

This fact results in all header elements being unaccessible: you cannot open the menu, click on the logo, or contact button.

The header goes back to normal when:

  1. you scroll down (but breaks again when you scroll back up)
  2. switch to another tab and back
  3. or close other tabs

I tried changing DOM or/and CSS of the header and body, but nothing puts the header back to normal state.

Any thoughts on how it can be fixed?

I am sorry to be the messenger of bad news, but I have no idea what your actual problem is since you posted no actual code. However, I would guess that since your problem is position:fixed, the best way to fix it is by stopping using position:fixed as it seems to not be working for you. Here is how you can equally-smoothly emulate it using only absolute and relative positioning:

<html id="eHTML">
<style>
#eHTML { position: static }
#eBODY { position: relative; overflow:hidden }
#eHTML, #eBODY, #main { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; top: 0 }
#eBODY>div { position:absolute; left:0;bottom:0 }
#footer {height: 20%;background-color:#88f;width:calc(100% - 14px)/*to account in for 14px scrollbar*/;overflow:hidden}
#main {background-color:#ff8;width:100%;height:100%;overflow:auto}
</style>
<body id=eBODY>
<div id=main>
