Lagging documents while in use
While DocsAfterDark is toggled on, scrolling through documents tends to be laggy, which is to say it doesn't scroll smoothly. With it toggled off, scrolling behaves as expected (smoothly moving through the document).
Issue: Scrolling laggy/not smooth/jumpy while using DocsAfterDark Expected behavior: scroll is smooth and responsive. Steps to replicate:
- Open a google document with 4 or more pages of text.
- Enable docsafterdark.
- Scroll using either mouse or touch pad (issue more obvious on touchpad, still very noticeable using mouse scroll)
- Temporarily disable docsafterdark using the little sun icon at the bottom
- Attempt scrolling again for comparison.
Tested on a document with 4 pages and 4,567 characters, on a laptop with the following specs: OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon version 6.4.8. Kernel: 6.8.0-59-generic. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7520U with Radeon Graphics × 4 Memory: 7.0 GiB GPU: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mendocino Display Server: X11
Behavior observed on other devices and documents but not tested or recorded (at least on my end).
Can confirm this with Firefox under Arch Linux with an AMD CPU / integrated GPU. Even blank docs seem to lag.
Can confirm with Firefox on W11 with hardware that should be extremely overkill (Intel CPU w 24 cores / Nvidia dedicated GPU / 32GB ram) as this is a gaming setup. However, I haven't noticed this issue on Chrome, on a W10 device (AMD CPU w 4 cores / Integrated GPU and 4GB of ram). The browser ComicalMayhem is using is not included in the original report but I wonder if it's relevant.
I also experience even blank documents lagging, as WifiRouterYT mentions. The lag has been so bad on Firefox that I've had it disabled for a while now. Came to see if I could put up a bug report or something.
Same as above. Looks to be Javascript on the CPU (79% time in profiler), and only the first two pages of a four page document. Firefox, Windows 11, r7 6800h. I'm seeing 2-3fps, but scrolling down is fine.
Edit: Realized it's the cursor position on the screen. <2 pages it's laggy, farther it's fine.
This is still a major issue a year later, are there any plans to fix this? Or revert it so it works like before?
Yeah same issue here on Zen browser on MacOS. Its definitely not a hardware issue for me.
