Scroll previous page to the bottom feature fix

[PalmtopTiger]

When the top of the current page is reached, a previous page should be shown scrolled to the bottom. But it doesn’t happen, because an existing call of view->scrollToBottom() scrolls to the bottom only the current page. Image loading takes place in a separate thread and always scrolls a new page to the top on completion. I’m not sure, if I fixed the bug right, but it works.

Hi, thanks for another contribution and I apologize for the delay with looking at it... I've just been reviewing the project preparing the new release and tested your changes, but unfortunately I didn't see the difference. This was a bit unexpected as looking at the code, I'd expect it to actuallty scroll to bottom in every case, also when going to the next page when scrolling to the bottom (which of course is not desired)... Anyway, please let me know if I missed anything and re-test it yourself after merging the latest master. Thanks!

Hi. Page scrolls to bottom only when we go to the previous page. To achieve this I added scrollPageToBottom flag that is set to true, only in this case, and cleared afterwards: https://github.com/PalmtopTiger/QComicBook/blob/eea4d89c4175d0834b9eb5139835e92571169319/src/ComicMainWindow.cpp#L881 https://github.com/PalmtopTiger/QComicBook/blob/eea4d89c4175d0834b9eb5139835e92571169319/src/ComicMainWindow.cpp#L674

I build QComicBook from master and this bug still persists. I'll try to describe the origin of the bug: When we go to the previous page, the application adds a request to the asynchronous loading of a new page: https://github.com/stolowski/QComicBook/blob/b80f9d28aefbfe766c3417b6324c307dfa4bcea1/src/View/SimplePageView.cpp#L147 Immediately after that, the application scrolls the current page to the bottom, while a new page is loading in another thread: https://github.com/stolowski/QComicBook/blob/d0fc37d6f269a999a24108c5d52026bf539da279/src/ComicMainWindow.cpp#L870 Sometimes you can even see how bottom of the current page flashes. When the previous page is loaded application scrolls the page to the top irrespective of the fact, it is the previous or next page: https://github.com/stolowski/QComicBook/blob/b80f9d28aefbfe766c3417b6324c307dfa4bcea1/src/View/SimplePageView.cpp#L115 Disabling the scrolling does not solve the problem, because we don't know the geometry of the new image, and we can scroll only to the height of the current page. Scrolling should be performed when the page was loaded. For example, in pageLoaded, as I implemented: https://github.com/PalmtopTiger/QComicBook/blob/eea4d89c4175d0834b9eb5139835e92571169319/src/ComicMainWindow.cpp#L673

I fixed the bug in the simplest way. If you wish, you could close the pull request and fix the bug properly by yourself.

Also, I prepared the test file for this bug: http://www.mediafire.com/file/79oap34x48n38la/%5BQComicBook%5D%5Bpull18%5D_Scroll_to_bottom.zip In the transition from page 3 to page 2, we should see a green area with a number 2, as it happens with my fix. Without my fix, we see the red zone. By the way, on my computer the lower part of the page 1 is cut off.
