Description Jack Hill 2023-01-23 15:13:41 UTC

SUMMARY
When I scroll up a chat, messages are fetched automatically. This means that the scrollbar jumps about whilst I'm scrolling which IMO is undesirable behaviour.

Discord's implementation allows the user to scroll, but doesn't fetch messages whilst scrolling. This prevents the scrollbar from jumping around and changing size. If the user scrolls up to the top and releases the mouse button, the app fetches messages again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hold down on the scrollbar
2. Move up a chat

OBSERVED RESULT
New messages load, which causes the scrollbar to move around and change shape

EXPECTED RESULT
Messages shouldn't load whilst the scrollbar is pressed down

I'm fine with implementing this behavior; i'm strongly against making it an option though
