Scroll-bar not properly draggable with "Pause auto-scroll" enabled #71

Closed cfdp closed 7 years ago

cfdp commented 7 years ago

The scrollbar can only be dragged a small distance before you need to "regrab" it and drag it again.

This means it takes a long time to scroll through a long conversation

To recreate the issue, open a chat room, make sure the "Pause auto-scroll" is enabled and post a good number of messages.

Experienced on Firefox, Mac OS.

@benjamin-dk try to drag scroller with "Pause auto-scroll" disabled, don't you experience the same issue? I do.

alex-bukach commented 7 years ago

In fact I'd say not "small distance", but "small time" (till the next request to socket).

alex-bukach commented 7 years ago

@benjamin-dk it happens since whole chat window is completely replaced with the new one (i.e. re-rendered) after each socket request (which are sent frequently) and on received message. The proposed solution (see https://github.com/cfdp/opeka/pull/72) is to pause updating the window until scrolling is stopped.

@alex-bukach you're right, the issue is also present without having the feature enabled.

Your solution seems to work nicely, thx!
