Boost Carousel flipping backward #287

Open timbray opened 10 months ago

timbray commented 10 months ago

Describe the bug Sometime in the past few days, the Boost carousel does this: I leave my mouse over the right arrow and tap-tap-tap my way through the boosted posts, carousel clicks left with each tap, but then sometimes (it's inconsistent) the carousel jumps way back to the right, to the first boost). It seems that leaving more time between taps minimizes (but doesn't eliminate) this behavior.

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

And just now, after I filed the issue, the carousel got stuck, would go forward then back on each click.

I could make a little screencast if that would help?

@timbray a screen recording would be useful 🙇‍♂️

Here you go: https://www.tbray.org/tmp/phan.mov - sorry, kind of big

OK, phanpy went completely blank-screen crazy and I couldn't convince it to show me everything. This is on Safari. So I went and wiped all its cookies and re-logged-in, now it's fine again. So while I suspect there is a weird bug lurking deep somewhere, maybe not a very urgent issue.

Hmm, I'm able to reproduce this erratic scrolling on Safari 17.1 too. Seems like a browser bug as it doesn't happen on Chrome and Firefox — it seems that they auto-debounce the continuous taps, but Safari kinda go haywire with the scroll position and jumps to a weird position instead 😅😩

@timbray does this bug happen recently, maybe after upgrading macOS + Safari? Was it working fine before in older Safari (v16 maybe)?

Yes, definitely a recent arrival but sorry, can't put a precise date on it. Maybe the latest MacOS? But it went away for me when I cleared phanpy cookies.
