Titles don't load when editing a large list on mobile

Open el4ctr0n opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Problem

Dear developers, Here's how editing a list of 3039 books looks on my phone.

Image Image

The books' titles, author names, and cover images don't load.

  • Expected behavior: in list edit mode, the user should see the title/author/cover image for each book in the list.
  • Actual behavior: Three dots instead of the title and the author name. No cover images are loaded.

Thank you for looking into this issue.

Context

  • Browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc): Firefox
  • OS (Windows, Mac, etc): Android
  • Logged in (Y/N): Y
  • Environment (prod, dev, local): prod

For what it's worth, I've checked out the edit view for the same 3000+ book list on Android Chrome: similar lack of book titles, author names and cover images.

Additionally, Android Chrome often freezes up when editing that book list, which is something I've never experienced when editing that same list on Android Firefox.
