When scrolling through the feed it randomly happens to skip a bunch of entries. It suddenly jumps far down the feed for no apparent reason.
Some observations and possible cause thoughts:
- I believe it skips one load batch (20) of entries.
- Scrolling up those entries gets me back to where I was in the feed.
- I think it happens when the last entry of a previous load batch expands an attached media item.
- It’s more apparent in media heavy feeds.
- It’s independent of the scroll speed.
Thanks. I believe that’s what I saw, though I could only trigger it once.
I think I know where the problem is, and I’ve made some changes in 1.4.30 that should address that if I’m right.
Unfortunately, 1.4.30 is a little behind schedule because I wanted to take the opportunity to re-write and clean up the rendering pipeline for the different post media in addition to my other “to do” items and bugfixes. That said, I’m going to have to wait until those are finished before testing the fix properly.
If you’d be willing to run a beta, I can give you a shout when I’m putting the final touches on the next release and you can let me know if that addresses the issue for you. Probably be about a week from now, give or take a few days.
In the mean time, if it gets to be too annoying, the only workaround I can think of would be to disable infinite scroll, set the posts per fetch to 30, close the tab, and relaunch (there’s a known quirk when togging infinite scroll).
All good, take your time :) While it is annoying, the posts don’t get marked as already seen which means they just reappear somewhere in the future.
If I can pull the beta in via a podman tag, I’ll happily give it a try. Not sure if this issue would be a blocker though, as it doesn’t seem to be super common for anyone else.
