Sharepoint Online Possible Bug - Mobile form

Below is the issue that I faced and I feel is possible bug in sharepoint online list mobile newform.

Here are the steps to reproduce.


1. My environment details

  • Sharepoint Online based publishing site (team site behaves same as well)
  • Mobile Browser view site feature is activated.
2. Steps
  • Create a custom list . e.g District
  • Do not add any column and try to browse below URL in mobile (newItem page) (in my case windows phone, Lumia 920 , IE)
    • https://YOURSITE.sharepoint.com/sites/poc2/Lists/District/NewForm.aspx
    • This will redirect to mobile form which is https://YOURSITE.sharepoint.com/sites/poc2/_layouts/15/mobile/newforma.aspx?List=683f4865%2Df9ee%2D457c%2Db0a2%2D018d8c337ec3, and looks like below.

  • Head back to your laptop and go to https://YOURSITE.sharepoint.com/sites/poc2/Lists/District/allitems.aspx
  • Click on Setting and edit page (right top corner), and then edit AllItem webpart and change any property, e.g. in my case I changed title under appearance.
  • Click stop editing . 
  • Now back in your mobile browser, if you refresh/reopen the newitem.aspx page you get below screen
  • I tried restarting my phone checked in other phones and i see same error message
  • "The page you selected refers to a view which is not enabled for mobile devices"
  • Even if i go back to the allitems.aspx page in laptop and revert my webpart changes it doesnt make any difference and i continue to receive same error.
  • The only workaround I found was, create new view and set that as default view . My new form starts working after that. 
I dont understand how allitems.aspx page is connected to mobiles NEWFORMA.aspx page.
