Bug ID: 434765
Summary: Scroll up on chat history becomes very slow
Product: Ruqola
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Often we need to take a look on chat's history, if we remember some sentence of
what we talked, we can use the search, but some other times, is faster to just
scroll up and re-read the chat log.
One of the best things in ruqola is the fact it's blazing fast compared to RC's
client, but on this it behaves a quite weird: as more chats are loaded, more
sensation of it doing nothing arises. Then some images are drawn, but you
cannot scroll up until some time has passed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. select a chat, as more people and messages, the better
2. scroll up with the mouse wheel or by pressing page up
OBSERVED RESULT
When you have scrolled up quite long, ruqola starts to become, not
irresponsive, but it seems it cannot scroll up any longer, you can scroll down
change to another chat, come back to the chat you where scrolling up, and
nothing. Then , suddendly, it starts to draw some images (if there were any)
but you cannot scroll anymore... or at least that's what you think, again,
after 30~60s, it loads a bit more of chats and stops again a bunch of seconds.
EXPECTED RESULT
Some kind of user information should be shown: a message on the status bar
(there is no status bar currentlly) showing it's loading older messages, or
drawing any kind of text animation on top (a dotted line, or colored line) to
let the user there are still older messages to show, or yet better, let the
user scroll up to the wanted date and then, print the messages (I guess this
cannot be achieved if the API doesn't let do this)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think it would be completely awesome, because even the official client
doesn't have that option, to put a datepicker and let the user jump directly to
a selected date (or the nearest one), more or less like the search tool does.
So the user could easily jump to a very old message. I know ruqola depends on
the API, but let me dream :P
