Minor issue with scrolling

[Rob Scott]

This is not a "bug," but when I scroll down, the contents of the list appear to be scrolling *up*. I have seen other apps do this as well -- perhaps it's an artifact that shows up when there are a very large number of items?

It does end up being a usability issue, because it confounds my mind's perceptual center (read: makes by brain hurt) and I have to force myself to think "no, it really is scrolling down."

Thanks again for the great app!

Regards,
Rob

Thanks for your feedback! And sorry for hurting your brain ;-)

Yes, this happens to me, too. Does this bug appear when you use your mousewheel, or when you use the scrollbar arrow?

I think it has something to do with the way the fonts are displayed - when the view of the list is updated (this happens when scrolling), the program renders the items one by one from top to bottom. When you use the mousewheel, it's not smooth and slow scrolling as with the scrollbar arrow. The scroll-up-effect might be caused by split-second rendering differentials.
I perhaps can fix the bug by improving the rendering speed - if I can improve it.

I'll post in this tread if I made some progress on fixing this

Stay tuned,

Fritjof,

I'll try to describe the conditions better the next time I use FaceList.

Thanks again!
