The bug

Note: The behaviour is not 100% reproducible. I can trigger it by starting the android app, clicking on albums and then start typing into the search box too rapidly.

In the android app, when i type letters into the search text box, after each "matching" letter the correct matchings albums shows up briefly, but then the whole albums list reappears (with all the non-matching albums). After typing additional letters the same thing happens, the correct results are shown briefly but then the whole album list reappears.

Could you provide a video recording of the issue? I cannot seem to be able to reproduce this on my Pixel 6.

Yes, I was able to reproduce it and captured a video. Can I send you download link? Please send your contact information to [email protected]

I was also able to narrow it down: the bug always occurs, when I search while the spinning circle next to the albums tab is visible. As soon as the spinning circle disappears, the search works properly.

The spinning circle is visible for about 20 seconds on my device. I also noticed that scrolling up and down in the album list is very laggy (Pixel 9 Pro XL, approx. 40 albums).

Exactly my experience (Me and Wife). This problem has existed since I installed Immich over a year ago.

Both Pixel 8, approximately 70 albums
