Ads flashing and janky scrolling

Open Mattis142 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

So far I'm really happy with the module and these are only minor things, so sometimes when opening a tweet or going to the trends and back to the timeline ads appear for a tiny moment. Also scrolling upwards sometimes has a weird "rubber band effect" right where the ad would be located.

Again, these are small things but mby you don't even experience the same problem so just letting you know

Here's the rubber band effect:

The flashing:

Same here.

What I think is happening is that the ad deletion works by deleting an ad whenever it becomes visible on the screen, but because this isn't quite instant it is visible for a moment which is the cause of the flashing. The scrolling issue is due to the ad being deleted and Twitter having to fill in the empty space either with the same ad again or by just moving the tweet below up. And this is because websites and basically everything on the internet works by going from left to right and top to bottom when displaying divs.

And it happens on all devices, because recently I moved from an a7 2017 (exynos) with a custom rom to an S20 FE 5G (snapdragon) with stock rom and the problem persists. Otherwise, the module works perfectly, a fix would be highly appreciated tho ☺
