Our mobile web application has sticky bottom navigation like the one you often find in iOS applications, and after Safari 10.3 release on landscape only it is possible to scroll sticky navigation (footer) off the screen. Even though it is position: fixed and set bottom: 0 it also wasn't possible on older Safari versions.
Styles for sticky nav / footer are following:
footer { position: fixed; height: 50px; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.7); } DEMO to try on phone
In portrait mode it is always visible:
In landscape mode you can scroll it off screen for the size of top address bar:
Has anyone come across such issue? I would appreciate any help to make footer stay on the screen. Thanks

There is nothing you can do about it. Safari's landscape mode makes the container with your content going off the screen. This is not detectable and therefore not to solve. I tried to illustrate what happens:
The blue bar = Safari's navigation bar
The yellow bar = Your app's navigation bar
Instead of shrinking the container's height, Safari lets it go off the screen.

This is more a workaround than a real solution. However position: fixed has been a problem for mobile devices for years and the best way to overcome this problem is to use position: sticky.
stickybehaves likeposition: relativewithin its parent, until a given offset threshold is met in the viewport.
From: Stick your landings! position: sticky lands in WebKit
However position: sticky is not fully supported yet, so I would suggest to use also:
position: sticky; /* currently in development for MS Edge */ position: -webkit-sticky; position: -moz-sticky; position: -o-sticky; See status here for MS Edge sticky support status (thank you Frits)
