Version 1.69.5 - 2026-07-27

Release Focus: Booking renderer hotfix that makes clicking a section on small screens zoom far enough to pick seats, delivered as a patch on top of the 1.69 line.

What’s Fixed

Clicking a section on a phone now zooms in far enough to choose seats

Zoom-to-section sizes a section against the map container, so on a narrow container the resulting zoom could stop short of the level at which seats become selectable. A visitor on a phone would tap a section, watch the map zoom, and still be unable to pick a seat — some sections needed a second tap, and sections that stopped just below the threshold could not be opened at all.

The zoom target is now never lower than the scale at which seats become selectable, so a single tap on any section leaves the visitor able to choose a seat. Desktop behaviour is unchanged: those zoom targets already cleared the threshold.

Repeated clicks on a section no longer stall

With interactionZoomStrategy: 'section', a second click on an already-opened section could recompute the same zoom target and leave the map exactly where it was. The strategy now hands off to the next one as soon as the section’s zoom target has been reached, so repeated clicks keep zooming in — the progressive zoom behaviour that ['section', 'next-scale'] has always described.

Issue: SEAT-1103.

Affected products

  • booking-client — zoom-to-section minimum scale, interactionZoomStrategy hand-off.

Upgrade

npm install @seatmap.pro/renderer@1.69.5

No API or configuration changes. Two behaviour notes for integrations that set interactionZoomStrategy: 'section':

  • Zoom-to-section in 'fit' mode now respects visibilitySettings.seats.selectable.from as a lower bound. If you rely on a section zoom that deliberately stays below that scale, set zoomToSectionMode: 'scale' with an explicit zoomToSectionDefaultScale.
  • The 'section' strategy now hands off based on the clicked section’s zoom target rather than on eagle-eye view. Clicks below that target zoom to the section even when the map is already partly zoomed in.
