Public bug reported:
== Background ==
I recently implemented an autoscrolling mechanism
(lp:~josharenson/unity8/autoscroller-alternative) for the ScopesList to resolve
lp:1575319 This branch, I believe, is exposing an issue that has likely always
been present.
== Steps to Reproduce ==
1. Install the autosceoller branch mentioned above on a mobile device. For the
sake of this bug, you can probably just copy the changed qml files.
2. Install enough scopes so that the list is longer than the display; about 20
should work.
3. Open the scopes list, press and hold to enter 'edit' mode, and drag the
bottom most scope to the top of the list (which should automatically scroll
upwards).
4. Release the scope
Expected behavior: scope drops to new position in list
Actual behavior: UI hangs for several seconds
== Evidence ==
There are several possible culprits for this issue, however I've ruled out two
big ones.
Qt - Since the issue isn't present in the mock, its unlikely a Qt bug
Unity8 - I have a qt profiler trace from the unity8-dash that shows no activity
at all during the hang. Thus, I believe the issue is somewhere in the scopes or
categories model. I've attached the trace for reference.
