slow scrolling jumps backward

eritain commented 7 years ago

Quick scrolling is able to move through documents -- ballistic scrolling, where the document continues moving after my fingers have left the touchpad. But below a certain speed, scrolling is just spinning my wheels: after scrolling through about a screenful of content, the screen jumps back to approximately the same line it started on. Sometimes further than where it started.

The jump is reflected across the UI: the box in the scroll bar pops back to its original position as though on a spring, and the line numbers and line content jump back too.

The jumping-back phenomenon is also visible in the scroll box during the later portion of long ballistic scrolls.

Same issue. Seems to have coincided with a recent ChromeOS update. Linux localhost 3.10.18 #1 SMP Wed Feb 22 23:32:23 PST 2017 x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2840 @ 2.16GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

This is beyond reason, I have to scroll slowly with the arrow keys. I have no idea how this extension even works to fix it myself.

Same here. I'd love this to get fixed, it's the nicest Editor on ChromeOS imo. Luckily, i can scroll with the Touchscreen (Pixel 2015), but sometimes when I click in a line to write there, it also jumps somewhere and only refocuses when I start typing.

I'd appreciate a fix for this too. I agree with murthag11, this IS the nicest, and cleanest editor on ChromeOS. I am using Carat for the time being, but the feature implementation on Text-app is better/cleaner, and Caret can't print without line numbers (at least, I have not had luck determining js code to suppress them on the printout). So I much prefer Editor. A big Thank You to the developer!

I have this too, extremely irritating

josephrocca commented 7 years ago

This editor is basically unusable with this bug. Any hope of this being fixed any time soon @eterevsky? Is it being maintained? Such a nice little app otherwise - would love to keep it as my default editor.

danhab99 commented 7 years ago

@josephrocca I've stopped completely. I new use Caret!

bawden commented 7 years ago

The most recent ChromOS upgrade installed this editor as if Google thinks it actually works, but the scrolling problem make it almost worthless. What were they thinking!?

SiebertBrandon commented 7 years ago

Confirmed this is occurring for me as well. The view bounces back when scrolling with the track pad. It seems to be independent of what line currently has the cursor.

Happens here too.

ammaarpatel99 commented 6 years ago

This is a real problem and happens unless scrolling really fast, which is pretty useless as scrolling that fast only allows you to go from the top of a website to the bottom, and nowhere in between.

JerryWiltz commented 6 years ago

Happens here too. If I scroll fast it, gets down to the bottom. But if I scroll slow, it bounces back up. Very frustrating.

SHADOWELITE7 commented 6 years ago

you know they aren't going to update the text editor

cedric-h commented 6 years ago

Well this is GitHub, for god's sake. I'll make a fork of the code, when I have time. There might already be one.

SHADOWELITE7 commented 6 years ago

@DefecateRainbows what 3d modeler do you use? it looks nice tbh

cedric-h commented 6 years ago

Feel free to start your own in the meantime, it'll be some time before my fork is finished. Just Blender! ... did you google my profile picture to see if it was original lol? I actually put it on opengameart https://opengameart.org/content/low-poly-knight @SHADOWELITE7

thx

tac11tac commented 6 years ago

I am having this issue, also. It is particularly obnoxious when using a scroll mouse. I've not seen it with my touchpad or touchscreen.

Mythius commented 6 years ago

This happens for me as well. Only thing I can do is use right hand side scroll bar.

KidneyPunch commented 6 years ago

This is super frustrating to have jump all over the place, then try to find where your cursor is. I wasn't a huge fan of Carat, but if someone has another editor they recommend I'd love to try it out.

GitBoudewijn commented 6 years ago

This issue makes this app almost unusable with large files.
