Guys

Voyager native app on Android.

Anyone else got an issue when scrolling through a thread the rendering flicks all over the place?

It's random and I can't think of a way to screenshot it. It's like the replies get drawn in one position then jump to where they should be. Sometimes, if I catch it right, sliding up and down with my finger flashes the post/comment on and off...

Like I say, hard to describe properly.

It happens to me in the posts screen, on any pics related communities, using the compact view.

Sometimes voyager would randomly just scroll down really fast and skip 20 odd posts.

Again, I am unable to reproduce it.

Yep usually on long comment chains

Just one question - where it is native? Are you pretty sure?

[โ€“] BenM2023 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well it was installed from the play store... So it might be a pwa but I don't think so... Nothing indicates it is anything other than a native Android app.

Or is that a whooshing noise in my ears?

I went thru so many apps before I settled on this one that I rarely see mentioned

Can you try running 1.41.0 and let me know if the issue occurs there?

[โ€“] BenM2023 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Just updating now...

Eta:

No wait - that's an older version. I can say it seems to be 1.43 that has the issue - not noticed it before.

[โ€“] BenM2023 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

OK. Version 1.44.0

Managed to make it glitch - it's not easy! And the original issue was happening much more.

If you flick a comment thread up and down, sometimes on reply will get rendered twice... And go away when you touch the screen

That's weird... It copied my post into my reply... Guess that's a feature!

Can you make a screen capture? I can't replicate so far.

[โ€“] BenM2023 1 points 8 months ago

It's hard because it is a dynamic effect... Perhaps a screen recording might do it.

[โ€“] BenM2023 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think I have a screen recording showing it. What host do people use for gifs?

[โ€“] aeharding 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can you upload to Imgur or something? Anything works

[โ€“] BenM2023 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It appears I can upload it to imgur but it does involve a lot of dark muttering (sorry old guy here...) it's the first few seconds of the screen recording you are interested in - the glitch only happened once but I scrolled a bit more to see if it would do it again.

Great, thanks!

So to be clear, it never loses your spot, it just glitches sometimes while scrolling like this?

[โ€“] BenM2023 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Never loses place at all

Here is a better screen capture that shows it happening... Its really not all threads that show the behaviour and manifestations don't seem to be related to the number of posts in the thread.

And another thing.. It appears to be drawing the post about to scroll on to the screen at the bottom over the top of the one scrolling off at the top.

Phone is a Huawei P20 Pro running emui 12 if that makes any difference
