When you say "the view", *which* view do you mean exactly? Multiple ones can be set to display a grid view, and we need to know which one.

Also, how exactly are you scrolling?

The view is for "Show other applications" and scrolling well up and down causes the application launcher to hang for a sec

I should probably also add that it happens when there's not enough items to scroll and when we reach the end of the list, but still try to scroll further
