Bug when scrolling wiki's bar within a component

gitprodia opened this issue · 3 comments

In one of the components of my project, an error is occurring with the wiki's scroll bar. Whenever the bar gets to the bottom line, it automatically goes all the way up again, and doesn't stay anywhere in between. Because of that, one is not able of having control of the bar and thus cannot click on the desired page.

Hi @gitprodia

I'm not sure that's a bug we've seen before. I checked a few public wiki's but didn't observe similar behavior. Could you email support@osf.io for further triage? They might ask for browser information, the specific wiki page in question, or for you to provide a view-only link so we can investigate directly, as the component you referenced is private.

I also experience this issue and will send support@osf.io an email

Thanks for reaching out, @barentine, and for sending more info to Support.

I've determined this bug may manifest when there are more than 50 WikiPages associated with a project. The list of WikiPages in the "Menu" column caches 50 at once, and scrolling becomes inconsistent as it switches which page titles are displayed.

I've created a ticket in our issue tracker, but temporary workarounds might include 1) consolidating many smaller pages into fewer larger ones, 2) creating new versions of pages instead of new pages (if that fits the use case of what's being recorded), or 3) utilizing wikis on Component projects.
