Viewport meta tags disappear when 'Use layout's stylesheet(s)' is unchecked

[tickletheory]

Hi, I'm encountering a baffling but frustrating problem.

I'm using Custom CSS and I always uncheck Use layout's stylesheet(s) when styling layouts to avoid duplicating css. I've tried this on a few themes, and every time I do this, the meta tag for responsive mobile disappears.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>

just stops being rendered in the HTML.

Is there any way to put this back whenever I use custom CSS, without keeping Use layout's stylesheet(s) checked?

Just want to confirm I've had this problem too, and had to add viewport meta tags to custom s2 to work around it. I wrote about it here in early 2018 (flash on page load as talked about there is another thing; with Use Layout's Stylesheets kept checked, the user's overrides fill the page before the layout's stylesheet does).

Ooh, thanks for the additional details!
